After weeks of very wet and cold weather we are going to 80 degrees today. Stalks appearing all over the fields and I'm getting the crossing tack together.

I forgot it's still winter elsewhere. ;-) Southern jet stream has definitely been farther north this year than "typical". We are past all the early daffs, late ones in full bloom now, trees leafing out. Thanks for the thoughts - we all agree! ;-) In years past, erratic warm up (80s F) and hard freeze (teens or lower, F) with no snow over winter has probably eliminated this type of carry over bloom here.

We had a snow storm last week, one foot of snow, all schools cancelled.? Overnight lows since then of -17C or about -1 F. Snow? still melting. Last night not as cold, so perhaps spring will come. Usually have danfordea and reticulata up about now The TB's are likely from stalks that just started development before winter set in. I can get this here, so? likely you would get it there. You can feel sweling at bse of bud, or see pregnency hook on leaves in fall.? At this stage, flower stalk will often over winter.

Hard freezes that have damaged early growth have often hit here in late March. Low 20's F.? ? This year, we haven't had any really hard freezes since Feb. A few light frosts, barely freezing. So irises haven't been set back at all since they started putting on spring growth. They look fantastic for a change here in the 'vale'.? ? Most years, germanica blooms first, then the SDBs, then pallida and any early TBs that have managed to escape being killed.? ? This year, the germanicas are well on their way to showing color, no sign of buds on the SDBs, but I'm starting to see stalks on a few TBs.? ? Two that have stalks up are either rebloomers or from rebloom breeding - RENOWN, which normally blooms mid season, and 2nd season to bloom TEA LEAVES X GOLDEN PANTHER.? ? The winter was long and miserable because it stayed cold rather than the more typical up and down, but it never got below 10oF.? ? So I'm wondering - are these stalks that "should" have bloomed last fall? I've never seen RENOWN try to bloom anywhere near this early.? ? Just wondering...? ?
