They're blooming in Davis, too, and have been for about 2 weeks.
Appears as if I'll have another 2 to 3 weeks of bloom...I grow mainly
hybrids

We're in the Sacramento Valley, about as different climatically from
Mary Sue's near coastal location as one gets in California. In July
we weathered more than 11 days in excess of 100 F (40+ C), topping
out at 113 F. No rain of course, but most have been irrigated along
with other geophytes.
