Thanks .. I guess it's a shrub .. I grow all my Abutilon in pots so they never really get 'shrubby' .. always kind of tall and lanky.

Thanks Arlene, but freezing temps are coming Tuesday and Wednesday night. Hopefully the plants will be okay.

Very pretty everyone.
No flowers here yet , but the buds on the Witch Hazel are starting to show a little color and some Hellebore are starting to break ground. No sign of any of the bulbs yet.
At least the snow is mostly gone .

Have no fear of being without snow though you may not get hit with Tuesday's storm. I hope not. You've had more than your share!

I hope there's no more more snow for the spring, enough with winter already. Here's some blooms from Oglethorpe University this morning. This is the biggest Camellia bush I have ever seen, and one of the saucer magnolias. The university was founded in the early 1800's.

According to AccuWeather we're going to be visited by more polar vortexes through April .. it's really starting to tick me off. We have another one arriving this afternoon.

We are supposed to get 2 to 4 inches on Tuesday. Hopefully there will be no more big storms this season.

My Queens Tears just finished blooming about 3 weeks ago and my Bletilla which is in the ground is on the verge of blooming! I also noticed my Trillium has popped up and is blooming though it's covered like everything else in Pine Tree pollen.

Be glad for the rain! The pollen is so heavy here that last night when I was outside I though I was looking a thick mist/fog in the flood lights and then I realized it was Pine pollen! It's coating everything. So glad I don't have allergies!
