Thanks, Deb---I think you are right. Fens Ruby probably the one, or one similar to it. You're the best!
Here are some pics from this morning. Everything took off blooming b/c we've had 3 consecutive days in the mid-70's.
Thyme:
Akebia quinata vine from a distance, up close, and a view of it's spiraling habit:
Azalea 'Hino Crimson':
Year 4 asparagus, grilled less then 5 mins after it was cut from the garden. So tender.
Ajuga reptans 'Mahogany' interplanted between stones in a small patio, which is in front of my greenhouse entrance.
Allium about to open already:
And my favorite spring shrub, a snowball viburnum, just starting its lime green phase. Will eventually turn to big fluffy white balls in mid to late May:
