OC's o9 Iris

Post by oldcoot »

Sad but few and far between. After looking forward to this year's Iris season, mercy it turned out bad.................. :-? :-? :-? after a real wet beginning of spring, it has turned off HOT, Windy, And DRY. Everything is just dried up. They keep calling for rrain, but it just never seems to get here. This is a look at the damage I am seeing.

Hi OC,
that is a nice color. I wish I could send our rain to you. Here in South West Germany we have had rain for almost seven days now. Today is the first dry day. I hope I can take some pictures now.

The color combination is very nice. Shame about the water. We've seen one day of rain in the last 6 months I believe. People are gripeing about their poor lawns with the water restrictions.

Love that bright orange Coot. Hope the weather turns fair for you soon. We seem to be blessed his year with a very nice spring for once.
