Iris
and similar plants
Iris aren't generally considered ideal for Queensland, but gardeners wishing to try their hand would probably have most succes with the Louisiana Irises, if suitable moisture can be provided (see links below for more cultural information).
Alternatively, try one of the Iris-like relatives.

Places to buy Iris
Common landscaping plants like Dietes are readily available from garden centres, but true Iris may be harder to find. Ordering rhizomes from a mail-order/online nursery may be your best bet for convenience and a wide selection.
