In that case, I'd be interested in knowing what it is.

It's been dropping below freezing most nights still, but I don't think 
we'll hit the single digits.  At least I hope not!  I'm not sure we made 
it much above freezing today, though.  Mighty chilly for the second week 
of April!

I don't have more than an inch of growth on any irises yet.  I'm amazed 
you have as much growth as you do.  Even with my minimal growth, I can 
see how unhappy the emerging foliage is with our prolonged cool temps.
