Can I be stupid and ask what PCI means. I have grown iris for years but am just now learning the names and some of the stuff about them that I never knew before. Jan

PCI stands for Pacific Coast Iris. Basically that means that they are native to the Pacific coast or are hybrids of the natives. Mostly evergreen foliage, way cool flowers and highly adaptable.
Garden of MU's partner and I were hiking on a bluff right above the Pacific Ocean and found a patch on an exposed rock that was constantly buffeted by coastal winds.

See my post under 'PCIs today' for the answer and a suggestion.
