I cant believe it.We are having exyreemly cold night temps,killing frosts the last 3 days.
Daytime temps are in the 40's.
My Crystal Fountain has a bud.Fingers crossed.

Janice, maybe when it's open all the way we can ID it for you. It kind of looks like Asao to me, but not really sure yet. It's a beautiful flower though!

Jo Ann, sounds like we're having the same kind of weather as you. Scares me too!

There is nothing so helpless as to wake up and find frost with lilies comming up.

So far, everything of mine has seemed to survive. So far.

Thanks, Chris!

Florida sieboldii just opening. I love this one. Shrugs off heat and drought, blooms in spring and again in November/December.

Better one of the blooms.

So beautiful, Debra!

WOW! I didn't think it would bloom this early.

Beautiful

So pretty - wish I could grow that one in my zone!

Chris, here is the NOID today

Pink Champagne sometimes looks like that, Janice.

Yes, that's it Zuzu!!

Thanks, Zuzu and Chris!

Pretty color.

Daniel Deronda, first ever bloom.

Nice. Daniel Deronda was my very first clematis and still one of my favorites. It's just a blooming machine, non-stop all summer.

I have that clem. The blue is intense.

Had a little serendipity with that one. Planted it last year thinking the shrub would shade the roots and I could grow it up the fence. Had an Arctic Queen on the other side of the fence going up the pole. Too hot for the AQ, so moved it to the right of the Derona, going up the wrought iron fence panel. A fence panel that has been leaning up against the garage for nearly seven years while I tried to find a 'good' place for it. And there is an established Turk's Cap to the right of the AQ. So now, I have--going right to left-- a red, white, and blue planting! Such fun!
