Midnight ... and the Iris Iris are Sleeping.

Well, not midnight, winter.  We got about 8 inches of snow last week.  The iris are blanketed.  Good insulation.

The snow was vey heavy however and a pine limb that could not bear the weight ended up in my pond.

I have a number of plastic coated stakes with a looped top to support iris blooms.  One was left on either side of solar powered globe light.  Add 8" of wet snow and this fun picture is the result.
