Fields of Iris Germanica & Pallida 2018

Dear all,

after a quite long winter, with very low temperatures in December 2017 (till - 11°  C) and a lot of snow and an unbelievable quantity of water - well I would say a real long lasting shower - starting from February 2018 till April 2018, the Spring has come!

Temperatures over 26° C: in one week we passed from 5° C to a full summer day.

The iris that were sleeping till beginning of April 2018 started to blossom with a 15 days delay.

Top: the situation of the iris fields on 15th April 2018! Note how nude are the trees and the fields full of water while the sky is somehow winterish. Real cold. No flowers at all!


But after a few days the magic of the warmth of the nature made possible that everything awakes like in a sort of dance of colours and harmony.

The vision is quite impressive, I would say: the iris Germanica's are going to blossom!!

An almost total vision of the fields:

and here - bottom -  a picture with a close view: amazing colours!
