Rotten fairies! The ones I purchased a couple years ago didn't survive until
the end of the first season much less come up too early the following year.
You don't play fair...

Yesterday I was searching out all the signs of emerging. Someone has
gotten
a bit ahead of schedule in the flower wakening department.........or it's
because this whiskey barrel is under a black cherry tree, facing west and
with it's back to the east on a northward slope...........but I found
little
purplish nubbins all clustered together tightly.............madgardener up
on the ridge, back in Fairy Holler where the fairies have obviously gotten
a
little ahead of schedule? overlooking English Mountain in Eastern
Tennessee,
zone 7, Sunset zone where the massive high winds pruned part of the long
dead mimosa and spared my Diablo ninebark and Wine and Roses weigelia,
Lorepedilum Pizzazz and lilac bushes............
