It's now December in Ottawa (albeit a mild one thus far) and my lilacs (2

of them) have BUDS! Is this a problem? I pruned the dead flowers off one

in late summer. The other didn't bloom this year and I didnt touch it.

Are my lilacs in trouble? What to do?

Don't know. For some strange mine bloomed out in November and now are

all leafed out like it is spring. Have they gotten the seasons mixed

up? I'm in zone 8 in Arkansas USA.



I am in Portland OR (Zone 7),it is NOVEMBER. I have a lilac that is putting out leaves and buds like it thinks it is March. It is in a pot so I brought it inside. Was that the right thing to do?

I am in Santa Monica CA (Zone 8). My fraises du bois, which are supposed to produce in spring? are blooming and have produced a few tiny, luscious morsels.
