Iris bloom in November on Lampton Lane, Columbia, KY

Click on headline for phographic proof, and full story

By Ed Waggener

We got this word in from Lampton Lane, from Patty Green, who sent picture proof of the phemenon:
"Ed, I thought it was interesting that today (11-24-09) I found this iris in the flower bed in full bloom so I guess it is like me kinda confused on the weather, I live on Lampton lane so it must be coming spring here, I can't remember ever seeing an iris bloom before this time of year. s/Patty Green"
With the election season here, it will remind everyone of the late, great Columbia Mayor Coy Downey, who promised to make the roses bloom in January and was responsible for a lot of the dogwoods and redbuds in the city.

The photo is posted, and we'll post more as the cold season comes on, if the seasons don't manage to stay in order.

Linda and I saw a gorgeous yellow iris in bloom on Saturday, but that was way back on November 21, 2009, and it was a way down south on KY 100 in, I believe, Monroe County. As anyone who has travelled KY 100 knows, it's not an easy road to find pull offs. We were driving as safely as we could, with the passenger describing the spectacular scenery along the way. -EW

Iris bloom on Lampton Lane, 2 days before Thanksgiving 2009



2009-11-25 - Lampton Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Patty Green. "Ed, I thought it was interesting that today (11-24-09) I found this iris in the flower bed in full bloom so I guess it is like me kinda confused on the weather," Patty Green wrote with this photo. "I live on Lampton lane so it must be coming spring here, I can't remember ever seeing an iris bloom before this time of year." It's the latest I've heard or seen this far north. Linda and I were the the deep south of Monroe or Cumberland County on Saturday and saw a yellow iris in bloom but didn't get the photo. This Adair County bloom certainly tops that. Comments from climate change experts on this topic will be appreciated. -EW
