Socktober 22 (not socks)

What is with the pictures of Irises in September? No, that is not a picture from last May…check the date on the newspaper included in the picture for proof. (Like a kidnap ransom picture my hubby says.)

Irises are plants that are triggered to bloom by lengthening daylight hours (as opposed to Poinsettias which are triggered by shorter daylight hours). So one more proof that 2020 is being a strange year? This plant has not done this before (so not some strange sport of an iris…but we’ll keep this to check on next year to see if it does the same thing).

That right blossom is looking a little past its prime. It and the one one the left are the same blossom. I should have thought of using a newspaper to date this a day earlier. There are still 3 more blossoms on the stem.

So is this a crazy year? Seems like more proof as if we needed it.

More socks tomorrow…probably…unless there is something else unusual to document.
