Arriving at SFO at 1:30AM, we made it back home. Someone had either turned off the power to work on the gate lighting or blown the breaker when the wrong wires were crossed. As a result, we had no automatic watering for probably a week because the watering system was on the same breaker. Most of our outdoor plants were somewhere between dead and unhappy. Luckily, as I'm sure you're all wondering, there is probably not much issue for the irises! Still, we had one piece of good plant news. After years of buying blooming orchids, watching the flowers die, then nursing them along and hoping for some action, Dara arrived home to find this specimen re-blooming.
