I have 7 new clems and they are all up, twining, and healthy looking. One actually looks like it has a tiny bud forming. I'll check which one later. The glads are all up about 6 inches. We've had early spring, so maybe they all had a jump start. I still need to fertilize everything.

Edited to add: The bud is on Midnight Showers

My c,lems are in pots, only one not doing anything, Elsa Spath. My tigers feel soft on the outside where they are peeling because they kind of move around alittle, but the center bulb is firm. I have half in the ground and will try to get the rest in this weekend.

Mine are all in pots. Way too early for me to brave putting in the ground yet. I was kind of waiting for the established ones to show signs of life before I move these to the outside world, lol! I have twelve of them, so if 3 haven't shown any signs yet, not worried yet. Smiling

Other than the tigers, everything else I got is doing fine. Well, except for one clem that I ordered from Mike's leftovers, a Purpurea Plena Elegans. It didn't show any growth when I got it, and it's still not showing any signs of life. All my stuff is in pots....waaaay too cold to put out!...in my GH. I noticed the dahlias breaking ground this morning! Hurray!

All of mine are climbing and twining. The glads are all up. The plumera has tiny leaves starting at the top. I have to say tho, I have no idea where the lily of the valleys are. I can't remember where I planted them. I figure they'll bloom and I'll be surprised!
