Thanks, Pam....need all the help I can get here:-)  Some woody plants
simply won't bloom until they've made a sufficient amount of wood as
in branches; some bloom when quite young.  Doublefile viburnums are
really lovely creatures.  I've got a blackhaw that has yet to bloom,
myself and no sign of it this year either, but it's still small. 
OTOH, I have 3 leather leaf; one is only about 18" tall and is going
to bloom like mad - so go figure.  Of the two larger shrubs, one will
bloom and the other will not, but it's one I got on sale last year
for $10 at the end of the season - it was about 4'6 tall and had
obviously been allowed to get too dry in the container at the
nursery, but it was alive and looked to me like it would make it,
which it has, so I am just glad to see it and note it is putting out
new leaves....should bloom next year.
