The big advantage to this very strange spring is that the iris are
blooming a few at a time. Although an awful lot of them will not bloom
due to the freeze and hail the rest of them are blooming sedately. A
new one here and a new one there. I have had the chance to hybridize,
photograph and enjoy each and everyone of them. Quite an unusual
experience. What a year!
