Only a true gardener can understand what I found today. We've had a lot of rain this week and I went outside to check on my plants and my first blooming iris of 2011 that just happens to be blooming at the same time as the tulips and daffodils. I'm glad I took pictures earlier in the week. I found that the rhizome, leaves and 1st bloom stalk had been STOLEN since I last checked on them earlier this week. This means that someone had to trespass by walking 30 ft. into our front yard in order to do this. This is an iris that was a struggle to keep alive last year due to our drought and iris borers. It saddens me that someone could be so thoughtless and selfish to do something like this. I would never have the gall to steal someone else plant blooming in their yard.
