If it's not one thing it's another. So far this spring my irises have been doing great. We've had lots of rain in the past 3 weeks and once again things are beginning to get WATER-LOGGED. However the irises are full of buds and lots of them are already blooming. A little earlier than last year but I'm not complaining about that,

The weather has been nice and in the 70's and 80's for nearly a month. Tonight it's suppose to get below freezing and I'm worried about all my irises that have blooms and buds on them.

I'm going to be praying that my plants be protected against whatever mother nature throws our way for the next couple of days. If I lose alot of blooms I'm not going to be happy.

With all of the above stated at least it will just be blooms for me. Other states are fighting flooding and maybe the loss of everything they have. So I'll try to be a little less selfish and worry about them and not my irises.

When we think something is going bad for us we just need to look a little futher to see that it's much worse for someone else.

Happy Gardening and may all your flowerbeds be filled with blooms this spring.

Best Regards,

Marian
