Junos

	Finally reticulatas started opening yesterday. 50-60 of the early 
purples. But the big surprise was while checking on junos I found many 
self sown magnificas. This is a first for me. , tho many juno iris do 
well here and I have raised some from my own seed. These were in a 
group near the south side of the house and mulched lightly with wood 
chips. The others in bare soil, grass or with gravel mulch have no 
seedlings visible. Willmottiana alba is almost a thug in my garden. 
This is my most vigorous juno. Thought I'd dug it out where it was 
out-growing some rare iris but I missed some as today there were 5 
shoots emerging at it's old location.
	Now, if we can just avoid one of those single digit late freezes it 
will be a glorious spring here. The earliest things are a couple weeks 
late this year but making up for it by blooming very well.
