Our iris "Happy New Year" is budding now, late February 2012, in the Sacramento area. It blooms a few times a year for us.

This iris blooms in the beginning of May here on the Pacific West Coast of Canada, not far from Vancouver.

One of my most reliable bloomers here at 5000' elevation - high desert conditions complicated by pine trees!
