This year the weather changes are particularly striking. There has been an unusual amount of rain in September and October, the temperatures are unseasonably warm despite some cool nights, and the fall foliage changes have barely begun although it is now November (2021).
The natural order of plant growth is gradual move into dormancy in the fall, dormancy in the winter followed by plant growth, blooming and seed production in warmer weather. However, with relatively mild temperatures plus the occasional cold day or just cold evenings, plants are misreading the signals and responding as if it were spring.
Hi Sura.
I’m not into rooting or planting yet but I enjoyed your blog including the photos.
I took a walk today and couldn’t believe that my friend and I saw a huge tract of irises in bloom!!!!
Yes I saw gorgeous bearded irises in Seton Park!
I have been educated that there are reblooming varieties of irises so it’s hard to know if any irises that may be in bloom at this time fit my thesis or not.
