4CP,

If you ever find yourself around Leadville/Buena Vista area try fishing the Arkansas for browns and keep a look out for wild iris blooming in the May through June time frame. IIRC there are meadows north of Twin Lakes between Buena Vista and Leadville that periodically flood and support the wild iris. They don't grow tall but have a bright blue to blueish purple flower. IIRC there is a county road that veers left from the hiway that leads to the old Leadville fish hatchery. The iris are in meadows on the East side of that road. Being mountain acclimated, they may also do well for you.
