I planted 3 cultivars of Winter iris last spring. Also known as Algerian Iris and Iris unguicularis.
Its quite nice to see them blooming today on Christmas Eve. Actually 1 or another of the cultivars seems to be blooming each week in rotation. They are supposed to grow into nice clumps after a few years, so am looking forward to watching them spread out some more.
The three blooming now are Mary Barnard's I believe.
Merry Christmas from Dahlonega

That's so nice to see in the dead of winter. I had an old white iris to rebloom against the sw side of the house this week, just before the arctic blast of 20 degree temps..
Three iris ungularis blooming for me Dec 12,2012. There was a 4th white one blooming last week,but I didn't get a picture.
