'Sindpers' flowers later here in Oregon, usually at the beginning of
March. I found that despite the severe weather at my former garden,
it grew best in the open in a high sand-and-gravel berm. It's in the
bulb house now but if it increases enough I'll try it without cover again.

The first Juno (Scorpiris) is in flower here too, but it is Iris
stenophylla, a very tiny species with purple flowers. It has been out
of its longtime pot (grown from Archibalds' seed in the early 1990s)
for a year and a half now, and has increased, apparently by stolons,
as the two new plants are about 8 cm from the larger ones. Many of my
bulbs are increasing better in the deep raised beds where they now grow.
