bearded irises are finished just as the siberians are starting

It's looking lush Lori

I'm pleased that these clumps of sibs have established themselves so well. Our crazy weather is giving us summer temps again and a strong wind which is a double whammy ...things get very dry..very fast. That little stream is no longer running... dried right up. Good news is...thunderstorms and at least 6 cms. of rain tomorrow! water butt is down to the last and the creeks are low or dry... found a little spring up the hill which is still seeping..so I guess there's no cause for real alarm. It's ironic that we complain all winter about the cold and when the heat of summer comes, we hide inside!
