I had hoped they would come back this year, but they did not...maybe next year, or maybe I'll have to start all over. Loved seeing the pics of yours. Glad they survived the hail pretty well.Just Call Me Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431986086441716504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-83099339763226574482010-06-08T19:28:01.724-06:002010-06-08T19:28:01.724-06:00The purple and white irises are just gorgeous!

I planted tulips last fall - about 25 and only 1 (ONE) survived the winter and actually bloomed. Maybe the squirrels ate some of the bulbs, I am not sure but I know many froze.<br /><br />I hope most of yours came back.

They were so gorgeous, what a shame that hail storm had to come by:-( It's either bugs or the weather, I don't think I'd ever want to be a farmer who relies on his crops to make a living. I've never seen so many beautiful colours of Irises, hopefully some have survived and that the weather settles down and realizes that it's almost Summer!! xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-36951650399180552542010-06-07T10:25:59.342-06:002010-06-07T10:25:59.342-06:00I've been so grumpy because a hard rain comple...I've been so grumpy because a hard rain completely ruined my peonies!

We heard last night that the snow is melting so fast in the mountains, because it has turned hot so suddenly, that they're sandbagging the Big Thompson River up in Estes Park.
