Bonnie, our weather is as unpredictable as ever. In Melbourne they say you can get 4 seasons in one day and it's true. Just now the temperatures are gradually climbing, hooray! I can work outside without a coat. The irises are doing fine, lots of new growth and increases. Hopefully these will be followed by blooms! We are having a week of dry weather, and Monday promises rain. This will be good as I have just planted a dozen new rhizomes. Spring is almost here !!!!!🎈👍🎈🎈🎈🎈
