It's supposed to be a great day today. I have two more little ones that opend yesterday that I still have to take pics of, and a couple that looked like they would be open today. Planted some things yesterday, and have to spray the memorial bed once more to kill the remaining grass.

Well, I don't have many pictures. Took some and they didn't turn out so will have to do it again later when the sun isn't directly on them. Here's what I have.
My NOID stitch whitch look alike.

I had lots of Ritz last year, so I took a bunch and dumpled it on the compost pile. This one most have fallen on the way, as it's growing in the grass. Had to take it's picture.

Look at that little Ritz -- giving you a bloom in the grass -- telling you "don't throw me on the compost pile -- I'm worthwhile -- look, I'm blooming for youuuuuuuuuuuuu"

I suppose I'll just rescue it, guess it wants to live.

We need a iris adoption agency so save the unwanted from a sure demise in the compost heaps of America. I think many of us here would volunteer to be foster parents. No, not think, KNOW many of us would.

My first TB opened on May 22 last year (as Iook back at the thread form last year) My 2nd and 3rd opend a day later. This year, I'm expecting my first open any day, which isn't really later then last year, although it feels like it. Guess it's just nasty winter, and cold spring that makes it seem later.
