    We had a late frost that nipped the tips of some of my little guys, but some are blooming.

    Very nice ones. I think I have the first and the third -which is in bloom but very small.
    Could be a dwarf of the dwarf variety :)
    The white one also in bloom... much bigger plants and flowers.

    I'm a little jealous. Mother Nature has been teasing us here. Monday we hit a record high of 90! Two days later we had frost. Today its suppose to be 75. Monday we might get snow! Anyway my irises are hanging tough, but it'll be a while before they bloom.

    Your blooms are beautiful!
