Subject: [iris-species] bloom season [1 Attachment]

 
I'm having a good bloom season here in Ohio.  I've made 78 crosses so far, and I'm barely halfway through bloom season.  Iris tridentata blooms into early July.

I was kneeling against a decaying tree stump while pollinating Iris flavescens today and ants started swarming up my leg.  Luckily I was wearing long pants and brushed them off but one of them managed to bite my wrist.  I also got confronted by spiders, bees, bunnies, mosquitoes, and more.  Surprisingly, no ticks!
