They are up and have buds showing now though for this year. I should see blooms in about 2 weeks or so. My Yellow Bells (forsythia) is already blooming, as is my field of daffy-dills (as my 7yo calls them!). My Daphne started blooming about 2 weeks ago, and my poor camellia just doesn't know WHAT to do. It's full of blooms, but I've only had a few open this year. The button in my sig line is one that bloomed for me last year. Annette

New Growth with blooms!!!!!!!! in the background you can see where I had cut back the ones from last year before covering,. It has produced a new growth off the roots??.. the blooms aren't in the best of shape,, I suppose because they were covered with leaves,, But YEAHHHHHHHHH,, We had such a mild winter, it appears they were hardy enough to make it to spring again!

I'm amazed at all you have blooming. dodge, I didn't know until yesterday that Johnny has stopped buying plumbing supplies at the Lowe's in Monroe because it's more expensive than the other one he goes to in Charlotte. I'm beginning to think they realize that they're the only place in town to shop and they're taking advantage of it.

That kills one to find it out tho. Our walmart is cheaper than Lowes if they have the same stuff. Home Depot is right across from Lowes and they have a price war also.
