Went into the iris beds today for the first time since last Saturday
expecting to see the worst! After nearly a week of day time temps not
exceeding 20F and night temps getting as low as 2F with horrendous night
wind chills, today was in the mid 50's. It's safe to go out side again!
Lady Friend, one of my favorites, was standing tall with just the tips of
some leaves scorched. Most of the rest fared similar but there were a few
with definate freeze damage, River Hawk is one of them. Our poor JI's, all
the new foliage that was a foot above the mulch now lays on it's side all
brown and dead looking. but overall things are much better than I expected!
:) I guess we were lucky in on respect, we had no bloom stalks forming.
Hope everyone else in the freeze zone fared as well.
