Interrupt the long winter nights with a brief period of light.
Explanation:
there are some plants that would naturally flower in the winter when there are longer nights. These plants are normally categorized under short-day (long-night) plants. On the other hand, there are other plants categorized as long-day (short-night) plants. These type of plants include lettuce, spinach and several others. They would flower in the late spring when dark periods are usually shorter.

Thus the farmer has a greater chance of forcing the iris plant to bloom by interrupting the long winter nights with a brief period of light.
