Bearded Iris in March

Wow! Bearded Irises in March! The first day of spring doesn't officially arrive until tomorrow, but....
 on Saturday March 17th, I discovered that the Bearded Irises, (which I had planted against the house on the south-east side), were starting to bloom!


By today..Monday...even more were coming into flower!
Last year they started to come into flower around mid April, and continued to put on a show through the middle of May.  Click here to view the post from last year on the Bearded Irises.

It's March and looking like April around here. According to a recent news report, this area is approximately 3 to 4 weeks ahead of schedule for spring flowering.
