My Alta California tb irises are trying to start growing already for the year! I took this picture around lunch time today. (Jan 30, 2014) And yes, it is COLD here in Wyoming still...

That's almost amazing ! Maybe their "calendar" is a little off! Anyway, it's always nice to see the first sign of spring !..Arlyn

Wow!!

The weather has been crazy here! Cold - cool- 'warm-ish' - Below Freezing - cold
I do have other irises poking their leaves out as well... I keep telling them to go back to sleep because it is NOT Spring yet, LOL!

Hugs- Christy

Christy -- is that Miss California by chance?

The iris sprout picture I posted above is Alta California, which we got from HIPS.
I do have irises from you that are peeking out as well..!
It snowed a bit last night, but I will take a couple pics of 'your' irises that are coming up. I know for sure that Silverado is peeking up, as well as Gay Parasol.

Hugs- Christy

PS- the current outdoor temp is a mere 20 degrees!
My irises don't seem to mind the cold at all...

Christy,

Hello. That would be "Gay Parasol". Love that one!

By the way. I just went to the database to see "Alta California" and there was no picture of it. Can you post a picture if it blooms this year?

HOOOORAY. Its too soon for us but your sprouts give me a lift.

Greg- This is the HIPS picture of Alta California.
If mine bloom this year, I will most definitely get some nice big, detailed pictures.

Mary Ann- It is too cold for me to drag my rear end out with the camera...
It snowed a bit yesterday, and is lightly snowing again today. When the snow either blows away, or melts I will take pictures for you.

Hugs- Christy

PS- Today is a great day to bake a cake.

That one's on my wish list, Christy! It's about in the middle of my list, so, hopefully, some time around 2018, I should be worked down to it ! Are you getting of the Cayeux iris from HIPS? It's a nice opportunity to add some rare oldies...Arlyn

No problem Christy!! Whenever it works!
