Burseen's Smithsonian Bound is a early bloomer so often gets affected by freezes. This year it bloomed really short with twisted leaves. I think it has really pretty colored stripes so I would love a good year for it.

Here are a couple more BFTD iris.
I used to have a big clump of Kennedy's Cosmos but it died off in heavy rains. This year the remaining bit has recovered enough to bloom.

Burseen's Pieces of April also lost a lot to heavy rains. But I had a little piece left that I nurtured hoping it would survive. It bounced back to bloom this year (in rain!) but had horrible leaf spot.
