Hi again Mark
This time of the year we'd expect maximums between 20 and 40, with minimums
of 10-22approx. Dec-January can be very variable. Because we live in the
Adelaide Hills our mins are about 5 celcius below that of Adelaide and our
max 1-2 degrees below. We had very early flowering this year because we had
a warm July-Aug and so things were 2-3 weeks ahead of themselves. Some
irises weren't affected but a lot had very short spikes and lower bud count.
Twilight Blaze was very badly affected, but I've noticed it's very prone to
this. When its good it's very, very good, but when it;s bad it's hopeless.
