Thanks Sof. I just get so nervous when it gets so cold here to leave them that exposed. My friend from here Birdies the Bulbous Queen says 'treat them like dirt' and finally I'm learning to do that. I did have some luvly tall bearded last year. I did't stake them and they seemed fine. Maybe cuz it's cooler here so the stalks are stronger? That's a good question. The siberians that were gifted 2 years ago are coming on strong so maybe will bloom this year? (hope, hope) and I think I have finally foiled Damien so maybe I'll have some dwarfs bloom this year too. I'm ever hopeful about iris in my garden
