Same for Wisco - and the cool temps and grey skies too. They are calling it June-tober.....

I had very little increase in about a dozen of my iris - and no blooms in them either, I assume they didn't tolerate the drought well. The rest have been fabulous, and I think the cooler temps have extended the bloom season for me - so perhaps there is a silver lining. My main iris bed is underneath the overhang of the house and raised, so I am not quite as worried about too much rain - yet. Although I am hearing reports of 12 - 18 inches over normal of moisture. I guess added together with last years under normal rainfall - we are about average.

Sadly, many of the farmers still can't get in their fields
