Still snow over all my lilies, although this warm weather is melting things quite quickly. I am going to have to uncover all my potted materials early this year, since the ground hardly froze under the heavy blanket of snow. Without the ground temperature to keep them cold, they will warm up quickly and break bud earlier.
I have been cutting pussywillows for the last two months. Now the earliest species is at its natural peak. My latest species (S. shraderiana) will come in another month and a half.
15 Beds!!! Oh my gosh! (And good for you!)
