Last fall a coworker gave me a plastic shopping bag with iris rhizomes. I didn't plant them right away and before I knew it, the ground was frozen. They spent the winter in the garage. I never thought I'd be thankful for what a frigid winter we had but I think the super-cold weather helped preserve the bulbs. I found them this spring- they didn't feel soft so I put them into the ground. Lo and behold- they're all growing and a few are starting to bloom now:
I think next year they'll probably bloom earlier than this.
Some hostas are blooming:
Yellow loosestrife that I picked up this spring at the Hanover Garden Club sale is blooming in a part-shade location under an apple tree:
And the Veronica Speedwell - Royal Candles that I divided this spring are doing well:
