El, 


If you've got a purple bud on an MDB, and you're in Zone 3, maybe you should re-evaluate your zone!  (Big smile!)  I have no obvious signs of even a stalk yet, here in Zone 4 (and a half. . . )!  :-)  

But, I see promises!  yay!

Nice one, Chuck.
 
On Mother's Day, I noticed MDB Glenwillow was setting buds above the foliage, but lots of other MDB's are starting to form buds, as I can see the swelling near the base of the foliage.  Same for some SDB's as well, including your Ruby Eruption.
 
Plus, tonight I saw one of the pumila's now has a purple bud, whereas I never even saw a bud this morning.  Had to go back & look at it a couple of times.

Here is a photo of the first iris to bloom in my garden this year.

Iris bucharica, a juno. It opened two days ago. Beat the first first of MDB iris which opened today.

First time bucharica was first to open.
