Vossner, I would certainly try them. The say they like some moisture in the spring, but prefer a drier site in the summer. Sounds like they would do well in Tx. I also read they don't need a long period of cold to bloom. I would pop the question in your regional forum as someone must have tried.

I would try to pick up some in the late Nov sales to try, any that are cheap. My reticulated Iris histrioides 'Frank Elder' came from Brent and Becky 10 for 6.00 sale in 2007. Last year I bought from the Van Engelen Nov sale 100 for 14.24 of Iris reticulata 'Cantab' and from Touch of Nature's sale in Dec for 2.25 of 25 of an unnamed Iris Reticulata. Here is a collageof that one. It was the very first to bloom for me in mass on March 12 2008 and is just fading now. I must find it's real name. Anyone know. Perhaps 'Harmony' ??? Patti
