Just remember that just because a breeder registers a plant as very late doesn't mean it will bloom the same for you. If a cultivar consistently blooms at a different time for me I try to add a comment saying when it blooms for me so that others won't be surprised.

This absolutely true with Lava Flow. It is registered early midseason. It was up with the first scapes last year and bloomed on June 2. I am zone 5B. Previously to this, my earliest blooms as around June 20th with Billy the Kid and Prickly Sensation.

I love my lates and very lates. They include Back to School, Genesta, Late Summer Fling (bloomed till 10/14 when the frost killed the last buds), Barbara and Little Wine Cup. There are a handful more that I have as lates/very lates, but can't find my list at the moment.
