I did a little weeding in the iris beds and noticed the jonquils and hyacinths have started to emerge. Early spring is here for us though we could still get pretty nasty weather. Snow is welcome as it really helps condition the garden and protects the plants from dry freezing winds. Also the water has a chance to really soak in. Winter here is a dry season for us and the iris will remain dormant until the precip returns. Above is a narcissis that I drew with colored pencils many years ago. Unfortunately the paper is wood pulp and very acidic. The coloring along the edges is not from sunlight but oxidation....actually a nice effect.
