Default Did you bring a favorite?

I will be returning North to gather the rest of our belongings and I was wondering... have any of you brought along favorite garden plants?

I know, I know.... there's plenty to sort out without dragging plants. But I have some outstanding Lily and Bearded Iris that I love.
I can't seem to find much online about growing them in central florida. My info says Iris Germanica works here, but I don't know if all bearded iris are classified that way. Maybe the lack of info should give me a hint.

I am bringing Clivia, but have grown that as a houseplant up north, so will probably try it that way in Florida, as we don't have much shade around our CYV. It will be a pain to move two large pots of them, but I'll try it.

These varieties were all fairly pricey when I bought them and are now doing so well that I doubt if I would want to start from scratch again.
Anybody have an opinion to offer?
Thanks
