Re: Freeze 27 deg

My Monkshood is blooming a deep, rich glorious shade of blue-purple.
Good things come to those who wait. Oh, and I think I saw a hint of
bright yellow out there where that willowleaf Helianthus 'First Light'
is residing. I was beginning to give up hope of those buds ever opening.
Temps are expected to rollercoaster this time of year, so I won't worry
too much just yet - though I will keep the sweatshirt handy.
