What is Happening This Iris Season
Usually, this time of year, our farm is filled with more than 20 beds of beautiful irises in bloom. Their many colors blend together into a fragrant sea of flowers.
This year, however, Mother Nature had other plans.
An extremely cold January, a long snowy February, and finally a hard freeze in early spring created difficult conditions for many plants. The peaches lost their blossoms entirely. The mulberry trees barely survived and are only now leafing out at the end of May — when they would normally already be bearing early fruit.
And back to the irises: many of them simply decided to skip blooming this season altogether. Others, thankfully, carried on as if nothing had happened. As a result, our iris display is smaller this year, and while you can still create a lovely bouquet, many blooms will be more monochromatic than usual.
Thankfully, the peonies — first planted just three years ago — have now reached full strength and are putting on a spectacular show. The pink varieties arrived first, followed by deep reds, and now the white peonies are beginning their graceful entrance.
The farm is open, and we would love to welcome you!
