Gabriel - Did your potted iris come thru the storms OK? You last mentioned that they got a bit of flooding from a downspout. NWS just posted an ice storm watch for us early next week. As I remember, you are downrange from us with weather.
I have my pots against a SW facing wall under the eve of the roof so they are fairly well protected. No signs of increases yet but three of them have a little green 'pointy' right smack in the middle of the old fan.
Hope you had a blessed Christmas.
