Re: Epimediums

GRR! no sign of color except a few crocus and the lone snow drop! I wonder if the epimedium I planted last spring made it!

I am glad you found your epimedium.  Mine are beginning to flower.I saw a
large white one I should have put closer to the path but then the small
white one really would have been lost back from the path.  The only solution
is to get more.  The pitiful cry of the Gardner "I need more plants".  The
Solomon's seal and their relatives are beginning to come up.  I put all of
them in to pots since I really do not know where they should go until the
other plants are up and growing.  Plus, it gives each plant a chance to grow
better roots before being put out in the cold world.
All the trilliums are beginning to bloom and the rue amenone , pink and
white,are beautiful.  The double bloodroot just bloomed today.  The single
bloom ones are starting to make seed pods.
All is right with the world.

 Nancy,
 I just went out to look again on my lunch hour and...they are still there!
 No leaves left from last year like the other Epis, but the slight

framework

 of twiggy stems was still there, to the right of the marker rather than

the

 left where I'd expected them to be.  I pulled the debris aside and checked
 just a hair below soil level and there were the new starts.  So I'm happy
 again. Now the only other mystery is what happened to my Weigela 'Midnight
 Wine'.  It is totally gone.
