Hi Mike,
You are right, we are fine now. Only damaged
open flowers (not even all of them), they melted away and the succeeding flowers
have opened and look fine. Don't ever want to be scared like that
again...

Mike, Sorry to hear about your frost. If the temp. was above
28' you should only have damage to open buds and flowers. The other buds
should bloom ok. Hope you don't get 5 days of cold like we had last
year, it killed 99% of my bloom. That was a first also, I never
expieranced that severe of a cold spell in the 40 years that I have been
growing Iris. Hope the rest of your season is warm and nice like it
should be. Good luck. Mike in Missouri.

Well....so much for global warming.
Peak bloom has been inching later and later every year, this year it
we are just approaching it and we had a freeze last night.....never
before in our history have we even been close to freezing during TB
bloom. Fortunately it wasn't a hard freeze but it was quite
frosty this morning. Will have to asses the damage after
sunrise....
