I call it the "Wintespring" ... here, irises bloom in late November and also early January, since they have just about the same amount of daylight ... real "winter" weather is about only six weeks now, the rest, and even part of autumn, having been claimed by spring in advance... only to have the most violent winter weather in APRIL, many years! Winter DOES get that lick back sometimes!
It's a good name. The winter that could come in the spring I'm afraid of.
Thanks for your comment!
