Two versicolors

---

Friends,

I have warned that I am a better gardener that record keeper, and am endeavoring to grow as many species as possible. I am specifying what I think I am sending, but welcome feedback.

Like Dennis, whose posts I have been following events in my garden are running one to two weeks behind yours. We also have experienced the same pattern of hot late winter and miserable early spring. But Spring seems to have come back. Like Dennis, I am seeing some deformed buds which I think is resultant on their jerking around.

I do not mind if spring is late, but it was painful to me to see such widespread injury by one fluke night several weeks ago when the temperature plunged to 30 detrees Farenheit or 0 degrees centegrade.
