So Pretty @addy1

@sissy I have rubber raincoat, pants and waterproof hiking boots and an umbrella so just as good as a wet suit. I do get soaked on the days I leave here thinking it will stay dry and then get dumped on w/o all my rubber stuff on. Oh well it will all dry out by the fire.

Everything slowed down when we went from hot to cold. They were blooming then stopped.

Gorgeous Iris, addy. One of my favorite flowers. We just had our first one bloom today. Thanks for sharing those pics.

I have a yellow one that is just starting to bloom, it is not the yellow flag. It just showed up one year near the deck, I did not plant it. Once it opens I will snap a picture.

Rhododendrons are blooming, so it must finally be spring here too.

Can anyone identify either of these two plants for me? The first one is some type of low light perennial, similar to Trillium. The second one appeared a couple years ago and has huge maple-shaped leaves but it isn't a tree. It's growth shape and habit is similar to our native Devil's Club (minus the nasty thorns). Both grow under evergreens in very acidic soil.
