Donald, your description of what happens with the
irises during the winter sounds much like what we observe here. Anytime
the temperature gets up above some minimum--somewhere between 40 and 45 degrees,
I think, the irises start growing. Nearly every day is like that
currently, and very slow, but decidedly green growth is showing on nearly
everything.
I think some varieties are hurt badly during the
winters here because they respond too quickly and/or too well to winter
warm-ups.
Our airflow seems to switch back and forth from
Gulf air coming up from the SW and sub-Arctic air coming down the east face of
the Appalachins, or spilling over into our basin from systems out of the NW-the
same ones that make iris growing difficult for Linda Mann.
I have yet to see a normal bloomstalk develop on
LAVENDER PARK. There are a number of others to which the same
applies. I look at Francelle's and Kathy Chilton's photos out of the SW
and wonder why I live here on the dividing line between two such contrasting
weather systems.
