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

Wow. I have NOTHING that is blooming outside, let me tell ya. Subzero
temps do not allow for THAT. BUT - my hibs that I brought in the house
are blooming which is nice. And my amaryllis has two big buds getting
ready to bloom - joy, joy. And all of them are a deep red color - very
warming.
