It's not a pacific coast bulb by any stretch of the imagination but my Iris cretensis (aka: Iris unguicularis ssp. cretensis) has been blooming off & on for the last month. Last winter we had a warm spell in January and it bloomed then too. Normally this flower can be expected to bloom in March... but give it a few days of temps in the 50's (sorry, don't know what that is in Celsius) and it will try to bloom any time during the winter.
