Thanks, Vic.
Good advice to any of us exposed to the smoke.
Been quite dry over the last few days and been watering.
Flowering: have gone through dwarf and intermediate irises and now have tall ones. Also have peonies and salvia in flower. The veronica are still just in bud. None of the various daylilies are blooming yet, except for one single plant, one of the Rainbow Rhythm series 'Storm Shelter'.
