Is there any better MDB? It never fails. Covers itself with a blanket of
frosty blue year after year...
Jeff, interesting to see that we are basically matched for bloom timing on
this one. We are farther north but probably lower elevation than you. Lets
see how it continues.
Slight correction, ALPINE LAKE, is the first non-bulbous iris to bloom.
Bleeding Heart just starting, Magnolia and Forsythia in full bloom in some
parts. On the south facing slopes native Buttercups are finished. Balsa
Root, Saskatoon in full bloom.
Did my first search on the AIS internet registry...mixed results
Leroy Kriese, Ambrosia Gardens, who does not mind bloom reports...
