Hi Karen , Liz and Steve,
I am so busy in the yard but sometimes you just need to come up for air...it can be overwhelming!
My Iris (the ones that survived our rain) are beautiful, I do not remember a time that so many have bloomed at once. The early ones are a couple of weeks late but the others seem to be on time. I will have to redo my iris beds in October because our ground rises with the water table and it does so in humps here and there. Where I live the water table has never been below the 7' level even during drought years, I was told we have the highest water table in Arizona by one of the city engineers. So the fall and winter rains really reeked havoc on my beds and my grass area, we are having to level out the areas again. This is the first time in 8 years this has happened. When I redo the beds, I will be thinning out the iris and probably have a few for trade.
Well I have to run it is already 61 degrees in my back yard and I only have until noon to be out there...this south and west yard gets really hot!
Happy Gardening!
