Spring has sprung

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

I love these miniature irises. They bloom very early in my garden and are generally through by the end of March. Some years they take a total battering by late snowfall, but this year spring really does seem to be here for the next few days at least. Maybe they will make it to the […]
