Makiko, this has been a very unusual year in central Texas. Probably because of 'El Nino', we have had soaking rains every few days for what seems like weeks. Some bulbs and iris responded well, but three rose bushes have died down and salvias have disappeared. A cluster of what seems to be I. Virginica had only one bloom. Although Louisiana irises did well. Hope your season goes well. -Cynthia Mueller Cynthia W Mueller > On May 18, 2015, at 12:59 PM, Makiko Goto-Widerman <makikogotowiderman@me.com> wrote: > > Dear Cynthia, > > It is very interesting to see the picture and read the story about the Iris germanic a 'Wabash’.

It is mostly the time for the irises, many different kinds blooming around town and in the natural landscape. Dichelostemma congestum is coming into bloom as well as the Triteleias. Alliums are the main true bulbs now and throughout the coming Summer.
