First buds
I'm not happy. I am really anxious for spring now.

We got some little flakes blowing around in the air. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. We live in an area that has had early spring snowfalls before. |

Have buds on Arch Duke Charles, Carefree Beauty, Mutabilis, and Cecile Brunner. Spring fever is running rampant here down south (on the zone 7-8 line) Hamp |

... No rosebuds or even rose leaves(!) here yet. Just snow and some crocuses in Eastern Pa. Sandy I live near San Antonio TX (Zone 8). The moderns are all leafed out but only some of the old garden roses have blooms - Noisettes like Crepuscule and my oldest Ferdinand Pichard (Hybrid Perpetual) - and one of the climbers (Don Juan) has a lone bloom. I have an Angel Face small standard potted on the front porch and that bloomed a month ago but it's in a protected (warmer) area. Gail |

And of course, here in Nashville, we might not have snow, but it's going to be sub-freezing for the second night in a row. Tonight, it's going to be 26 degrees. Glad I planted those later-blooming narcissi. They've just now started throwing up bloom stalks and they aren't open yet. It's going to be sad looking at all of the drooping currently-blooming beautiful narcissi in the next day or two, but that's just part of living in Nashville, I suppose. Right now it's 38 degrees outside. One good thing about the deeper frosts at this time of the year - usually they only hit those lows for a short period of time right at dawn, instead of being that cold for hours at a time. |

Yesterday I walked around to the south side after a week and found Lavender Lassie all busting out in greenery. Alba meidiland, Alexander Mac & Cecile B are busting out too. This is the earliest I have seem them greening out. I will probably get blooms in April from this lot. -- Theo in KC Z5 "dave weil" wrote in message ... On Thu, 18 Mar 2004 11:55:54 -0500, "Mark.

We may not have snow, but it will be points in the second freezing night in a row. Tonight, it will be 26 degrees. I'm glad I planted those later - daffodils in full bloom. now they just started vomiting and flowering stems and they do not open however.
