our weather has been just awful! it was nice and warm a few weeks ago and then it got cold again. we've been having a hard time getting warmer than 55 - 60 degrees.
in fact, many of our trees and flowers were tricked into budding and blooming early and then we had a frost that has done a number on fruit tree blossoms and other plants and because it's been cold the plants have been sluggish and can't do anything.
but I had a happy surprise the other day when I checked on my flowers around my house and found that one cluster of my irises had buds on them.
yesterday I went out to check on them and they had opened! I must have them in just the perfect spot. tightly against the house on the south side so it's been protected from the wind we've had for the last few days.
