Here in California it seems like early spring and the irises are waking up. Not much of a cold winter and the last two weeks are like late spring with temperatures flirting with 80 degrees. The rain seems to have quit for a while. I hope it comes back.
Meanwhile, Blackwatch has opened and Trick or Treat is showing color. Hell's Fire has seven bloom stalks. It's one of the early ones, just not usually this early. And two of our Pacific Coast irises are blooming, Big Money and a Ghio seedling.
Looks like it is going to be an early season for us.
I'll post pictures later.
