Well, for a review of what's blooming here in the Chicago area--in my yard:
Arilbred irises (complex hybrids of oncocyclus, regelia and tall bearded
heritage); Arisaemas triphyllum, tortuosum, and nepenthoides (in a very
sheltered spot) sikokianum, sikotak,and dracontium , a variegated solomon's
seal; Allium karataviense, and one of the larger globe types;

Phyllostachys nigra (a very small piece) after surviving -15° F.
Chionodoxa luciliae (all done= sardensis?)

The other lilies: crinums, eucomis and small glads still surviving at the
drip line under the eaves but not blooming for another month at least.
A small ornithogalum white and small, unidentified as to species blooming
in various places.

My Zantedeschia albomaculata died . It did well at - 10 but couldn't
manage -15 maybe because it set seed. Good luck to anybody pushes zones.
