Last week for In a Vase on Monday I shared a vase of reblooming bearded iris buds that I saved from a forecast frost. Several readers encouraged me in trying to “force” the iris inside. I am happy to share this modest but blooming vase of bearded iris ‘Clarence’ which made it through the week. The ‘Sunny Disposition’ showed a tiny speck of yellow for a day or so but faded before opening and was removed.
It’s fun when an experiment brings a positive result. Please visit Cathy, the originator of IAVOM, at Rambling in the Garden to see her vase and that of others who join with her each week.

Hurrah! I am so glad it proved to be successful, John. And despite what you said, you have left the Arranger twiddling her fingers again this Monday…. 😉
