Just started blooming in my garden, a great native iris, Iris cristata. Perfect for the woodland garden, perennial.

Douglas Hunt on Apr 01, 2012@Sherrie: The one you bought at Lowe's was likely African iris (Dietes iridioides). It is substantially taller than the iris Erica posted but has a similar bloom and does very well in Florida. It will bloom in flushes except in the worst of summer heat. Mine have going crazy for the last month or so. Another iris option for us is the Giant Apostle's Iris (Neomarica caerulea), which can get 5 feet high and has a purplish blue flower.
