I see Mike beat me to this but what can one say, the excitement is great after seeing snow for the past few days and lower
20 temps last night!

Mike, I just potted up a large pot of dutch irises a week ago and they are all up already! I really think these are the best!

I can't wait to see more of your photos this year!

Great to see you back John!! We have one now that should open today. It was locally sold as Pauline but Mike said it was
something else. Will post a photos as soon as it's open, we have many in bud and watching the back white ones shoot up inches
each day. They are huge this year here and I finally got the last of the ones that needed to be moved last fall done this past
week when we had rain to loosen the soil. I cut them all back as I know they won't bloom due to the wrong time of the year
in moving them.

Love those lil iris.
I don't think mine came back. The weeds choked them out last summer I think :lol:
