Moss, Saignon

This year, when we arrived, on January 4th, an iris across Impasse du Bourget was blooming! Usually they bloom much later. The rest of the irises bloomed over the course of our visit. There had been no hard freezes and, by the time we left the flowerier trees, such as almonds, were all budded out and the roses were actively growing. This moss was the same, growing a month or too early.
