We had a nice warm day and rain which was much needed. Now here too,
everything is getting going. Creme Pixie (SDB) sent up stalks, I am
sure some
irises have doubled in height today, and Clarence is developing fat
leaves !
I, too, am sorry about your losses Laurie. I would hate to think of
losing that
many irises in one year. I think what's saved me from having too much
problems
during this cold spring is that we haven't really had a lot of
precipitation and
consequently, my soil is quite dry.
