Flirting With Freezing

Magnolia Flower

 The first two and a half weeks of April were cold and rainy. We had a freeze which killed the blossoms on our three magnolia trees. This is the third year in a row that the magnolia blossoms were killed before a lot of them even opened. Although we've had some nice days in the 70's and 80's this week, it is still going down in the 40's at night.

The brunnera plants were just starting to bloom when we had the freeze. Some of the blossoms died, but most had not bloomed yet and came through ok.


Lady Ferns

The lady ferns are popping up under all the trees.


Cherry Laurel

All the cherry laurel bushes in the yard burst into bloom this week.


Blueberry bush

The two old highbush blueberry bushes in the yard had buds on them.


Clematis vine

This clematis vine called Samaritan Jo has buds now also.


Peony bush

There are several peony bushes of different colors in the yard that are budding.
