I just did a walk around and noticed "Black Lightening" has a bulge. Didn't notice any other bulges on the other Iris.
The weeds are growing nicely. but the Iris are looking really good too :

I have a lot of bulges on the little guys and a stalk on a TB. ???

I just plain have bulges. Attributed to too much cheesecake, I think

Me too, and cheesecake is my favorite.💗

I have some daffodil bulges. That is about it. My neighbor's mom planted a bunch of bulbs last year. They are coming up now and are tulips. Loads of them close together. Hmmmmmmmmm. Anyway, they are suffering from the same problem that Carl and Bonnie mentioned happening to some of their iris.... The bloom is full size but right at the ground height. No real stalk. They are an absolutely beautiful shade of magenta, but I did a double take when I first saw them.

My daffodils are in full bloom and they are beautiful. The early ones bloomed with the late ones so it is quite a color and size array.

The little iris that had a short stalk always has a short stalk. It is a tiny little guy by nature. It is the shortest MDB I grow but not the smallest bloom on an MDB.

I bought Black Stallion from Dee last year. We will see how it goes.

A fee of my hyacinths are stumpy, bloom right out the ground. Others are tall drumsticks pumping out perfume.

Daf are just fine. Somehow spring is on a normal schedule from my pic dates over the last few years.

I have one daffodil about the bloom. Out of 12. All of thrm died except that one.

All the bulb flowers are blooming across the street - snow drops, daffs, tulips and such. His garden has southern exposure and they always come up earlier than mine.

I have daffs coming up in the new bed I made in back of the house. Since I didn't plant any, they must be long dormant bulbs that were buried deep when I tore everything out. That means they are extremely deep now since I put a good 10 inches or more of soil on top of the existing soil! Be interesting to see what they are.

first blooms in my yard.....crocus (and very close to the foundation, at that) opened yesterday

Lucy, I got mine from Dee, too.

Here's my first spring bloom - NOID - (unless someone ids her)
She has a cinnamony fragrance

Two more tall bearded irises opened

Anxious is a rebloomer by Ben Hager.
It rebloomed this fall and winter.
This is spring bloom because it has 4 or 5 stalks.


Berry Blush is an older iris by Bernice Hamner.
It also has 4 or 5 stalks.

"Black Stallion". . . My favorite books as a kid. I need to look for that one.

Love both of those Carl! Especially Berry Blush

I'll be digging it this year if you want a piece.

I have lots of flowers about to open. All together about 40. Here is a few pictures I took with my cell phone. They are not great pictures. Excuse the weeds, I am trying to get wedding done between just getting over sick, wind, work, etc.

Weeds are a part of my garden, Richard. smiles....

They r part of everyone's garden somehow/somewhere. We all don't like them (speaking collectively).

All the ones that are flowering were seperated back towards the end of September each one had.maybe 4 or so and the rest from the few pots went into a bed that had about 44 or so. The big bed is up to about 75 and who know about all in the pots (alot of increases). The ones in the large bed has no flowers, and they all get about the same amount of light. These morning and the other midah/evening.
