===>Paul, my turtleheads may bloom soon, but kirengashoma is still a long

off. And here in Cincinnati (Z6a) we're a lot warmer than you (but perhaps
not this year). Do you have your plants in some kind of microclimate?

No - they are in the same places they have been for a few years but this year
has been a bit strange. In Minnesota there is no such thing as "normal."
We have had a lot of rain this year-way above average and we just came off a
two week period or 92-101 degree temps.
The Asters do not appear to be in any hurry to bloom yet but they are more
dependent of day length -- so that is to be expected. And the toadlilies do
not appear to be ahead of normal. This year the Hosta were very large and
the Daylilies bloomed about two weeks ahead of "normal"
Like I said it's strange and unusual, I have five diffrent forms made up of
both commonly grown species of turtlehead and all of them are in bloom.
