Bulb Shoots with a Mind of their Own

ALMOST

These little bulb shoots
do not realize it's not
Spring ... rather crazy

Irises planted
thirty years ago beneath
this Korean grass

have bloomed every Spring
but I have no idea what
might happen next now ...

because it's October!
Do YOU?
This is what they looked like this past Spring!
