It looks like we are going to get just enough rain to pull off a decent spring garden. After that--who knows.

My roses are coloring up and the Zephririne Drouhin has a few blooms opened. Some early cultivars of my Dutch iris usually get hit by a late frost, but not this year. They look really pretty. Bearded Iris are in various stages of bud, bloom or withering, depending on the cultivar. The Hesperis is starting bloom, tho' they are much shorter this year--probably less rain and no fertilizer.
