It's been a fairly mild winter this year in Virginia. The green house has started to wake up a bit and big buds all over.

Those are beautiful

Thanks so much ! I appreciate that Doris.

your welcome, and if you ever have cuttings to spare in the spring please let me know.

Wonderful flowers there Edna... waking up indeed... they are grand...
it has been a strange winter ... snows before Halloween here... maybe 4-6" ... then nothing since... today there's some falling... but it won't amount to as much as we had there in October... I didn't believe the October forecast ..and had left everything out... but it was warm then and they made it through with little effect to them... was ripening seed pods when I put things in the cool room so I kept it @ 67* F rather than the 45 *F I usually keep the cool room @.. so I've had flowers throughout the winter.. the seed pods have been harvested.. but I haven't lowered it to put them to sleep yet..
So.. yes.. thinking of you again ... I know.. everyday I think I'll pull out my seeds and get the ones I promised of the stictocardia too you.. I had found them yesterday.. and was thinking of you there.. and then saw you post.... and yes they are on their way.. and a few others that might hold some interest...
All the best.. and thanks again...

Well hello Gordon ! Hope your weather holds up and doesn't get too cold. It's been cold for 2 days here, and that's about it. I've really enjoyed this very warm winter ! It's nice to walk thru the cold and run in the GH where it's warm and you can smell the soil...

Good to hear from you
