Just the one iris so farā€¦. Although goodness knows what is left in the rest of the garden after the storms! It was blowing a hooley all night! Hope everyone is safeā€¦.

We didnā€™t suffer at all yesterday, apart from a few strong gusts of wind. Iā€™m not so sure weā€™ll be as lucky tomorrow, though! 🤞😘

Absolutely every thing is waterlogged but at least the wind has subsided a bit , hope itā€™s calming down for everyone and there is not too much damage. #winterwonder #bestoffeb

@rachelbrooks it actually bloomed yesterday! (But I had a mare of a day and even GardenTags therapy wasn't gonna help!?) @carolgs I realised I'd tagged it wrong once it bloomed! I was so sure I planted crocuses in the planter 😂 I need to go through my saved packaging to specify which iris it is!?

@rachelbrooks - According to my husband they are blooming because the house is kept at a tropical heat 😏
