Sandi - I know what you mean. I wandered around the front/side yards today & saw many many buds.. and we've had several frosts, including one hard frost. No rain though.. just that little bit of snow a week ago. And that was only because I watered for 4 hours the day previous. Tomorrow's gonna be gorgeous, as is Sunday.. will probably take some pictures in the morning. My Medallion has some massive buds on it.. big big big buds that are a gorgeous deep coral color. I sincerely hope they actually do open.
