Re: Epimediums now spring

Yes, it seems to be coming on so fast!  Just last weekend I saw the tips of
the bloodroot coming up under some old pin oak leaves. Now they are up and
would be open except that it's such a grey day.  They should make a fine
showing tomorrow.  No magnolia blooms here yet.  I have a later variety, M.
x loebneri 'Leonard Messel', though the book I'm looking at lists it as
early to mid spring.
