PROGRESS IN 2013

Spring in the garden has been off to a slow start with the unseasonal weather.

The plants are bursting with buds, which bodes well for a spectacular year with cherry blossoms, bluebells, rhododendrons and azaleas all flowering at the same time!

The large leafed hybrids have more buds this year than I have seen before, and I plan to start hybdridizing them with others in the garden starting in MAY.
