Re: Is spring here?

Gale,
Thanks, you give me hope.  I bought several Epimediums from Daryl Probst a
couple of years back.  One favorite of mine, to which I gave the best
location seems to have disappeard, but the others are still hanging in
there.  I'll keep watching that spot for signs of life - thank goodness for
Eon plant markers.

Subject: Is spring here?


We have a lot of things blooming but the forecast is for 32 degrees Sunday
night so I dont know if spring is here or not!  Waiting till I can put the
60 indoor plants out on the deck - then it will be spring for sure.  We have
had hellebores blooming for at least a month.  Now daffodils are almost
through, and we have grape hyacinth,creeping phlox, candytuft, buds on the
Va. Bluebells and shooting star and tree peonies, flowers coming out on the
peach, cherry, magnolia and japonica.  My epimedium sulphureum usually is
semi-evergreen but this past winter we had a warm spell followed immediately
by near-zero so it died back completely to the ground.  I am relieved to see
it emerging again with buds.  One of the collection of other species is also
showing growth, maybe the others come out later I hope.  It will be
interesting to see whether the so-called hardy begonia really is.  My
clematis all seem to have survived too.  Yay!
