Good morning GTers! I'm not sure what has happened to my #iris 'Harmony' this year, but they haven't put in an appearance yet! So here's one from last year! Have a super Sunday everyone! 😀

@juliesgarden - Good morning Julie! I think mine may be lost as they've usually flowered in late January through to March! 🤔

Morning Ian, I have a total of two out of countless bulbs, it seems it's not a good year for some of us. Enjoy your day too 💙🙋

My Harmony didn't flower this year but they multiplied 😀 The other varieties are flowering beautifully.

Good morning GTers! I was quite surprised to find this miniature #iris doing its thing, completely alone, well away from the rest of her slow coach buddies! Was pleased to see her though! Have a fantastic Friday everyone! 😀

Morning again Ian, mine are either being rather slow or have disappeared, so I will have to admire yours instead. 💙💙

Beautiful! I've not seen my crocuses open yet. The only sun we've had has been while I'm at work. Your Iris must have got impatient and decided to risk it. Very brave!

I know what you mean @bigemrg but as @rachelbrooks said mine just seemed to flower overnight!! I even spoke to the pot - "when did that happen?" 🙄😂 #nohope

@titchyfra - Hehe! Don't worry, I do my fair share of 'plant whispering' too! The neighbours already think I'm a bit unhinged though as they see me in the most peculiar positions with my camera - getting the shot just so! 😀
