I went down to check some of my dormants and see if any were totally not showing. The only one I had noticed being completely not visible was 'Magnificent Rainbow' . I had a list in my computer but when I upgraded to windows 10 I lost it and many other documents. I did have a printed copy but it needed to be updated, I had some deletions and quite a few additions that were not on the list. So, after updating the list I went down to the garden to see if I could actually tell the dormants from the evergreens and semi evergreens. A few dormants were distinguishable as dormants, most of them I would need the list to actually see what they were registered as and several of the evergreens in my garden actually could have passed for dormants. I did make a discovery that the plants were absolutely totally infested with aphids. So I started pulling all the dead foliage and a lot of the green foliage trying to thin it down so I could actually spray and have the spray reach the aphids, there seemed to be more aphids on the plants with the most foliage, especially on the ones with a lot of dead foliage. It seemed to act as insulation for the insects to allow the cold not to kill them all. It looked like most of them were dead, but many were not and they multiply so fast I do intend to spray them. It started raining before I got through pulling all the foliage but I did get over half way done and about two thirds of the way through the plants in the bog. I figure the bog plants will be the most infested but I did not get a chance to check any of the other plants yet.
Still, of all the plants I checked this morning none of the dormants had completely disappeared from sight so still only 'Magnificent Rainbow' is the only one, and I am afraid it might be dead instead of dormant. I guess I will continue checking and I will see some spring if it is alive or not.
Here is an example of what the plants looked like after having the foliage pulled. Yes, those little white specks are APHIDS!!!
