Yes, everything is *at least* three weeks early here, with some plants
budding 4 to 6 weeks early, such as liatris. Last June 13, our latest
grandson was born and our peonies filled the homecoming vases on the
15th. He'll be one year in three weeks and the peonies, now in full
bloom, will be long gone. Roses are all in heavy bud, with some open.
Lavender is budding heavily as well (more so I think because of the mild
winter). Will be interesting to see if anything is left in bloom in
late July and August...
