Re: Lonicera fragrantissima and what else is blooming...

Blooming outside now??? Nothing!
   
  I have about 8-9 inches of snow, sub zero temps and you want to know what is blooming... LOL!

  I think the plants that bloom when nothing else is are some of my 
favorites. Right now I have some type of narcissus, an insane azalea 
(it has decided to bloom a few buds year round rather than in one spring 
flourish), fuschia, anemone, some tagetes shrub variety that I can't 
recall, winter sweet, mahonia "Arthur Menzies" (finally blooming for the 
first time), primulas, and another shrub with pale blue flowers whose 
name I'm also blanking on right now. I ate one of my now ripe Minneola 
tangelos from my tree. Yummmm- it was so good! I have about 8 more 
fruit so I'm happy about that. And next year I'll make sure it gets 
enough water right from the start so that I don't loose so much fruit 
like I did this year.
Zem- my Hellebores aren't doing a thing this year- so hope yours perform 
well for you.
