    Those are very pretty Droopy. Is this early for you to have blooms?

    Yes, Netty, it is. The last two winters have been weird. We've had flowers outside year-round. Normally we have snow for three-four months, and spring starts somewhere in March or April.

    Yellow is a nice spring colour. I get a bit fed-up with yellow once Easter is over, but it passes fairly quickly. :)

    Oooh Droopy - You always manage to surprise me and what a lovely surprise - that Iris is really something else. 8)
    Your garden holds the promise of so many wonderful surprises and this seems to be just the beginning.

    Thank you, Palm Tree. Most of my plants are fairly common, at least hereabouts.

    Thanks for sharing these pics Droopy. I really love that iris. So different. I love all colors. I like to mix them all up in my garden. Thanks so much for lifting me out of the winter blues.

    Isn't it amazing what a little colour can do to your frame of mind?
