I looked under some leaves where one of my montana Aureomarginatas is planted,and lo,and behold,there are eyes already started to appear! Now,I know they usually come up at the end of February,but this reedikolus!!! We are having a very warm January,so far,and I even saw some daylilies down in the valley already showing up! BTW,I do know how to spell ridiculous,but I was trying to make a point. I sure hope winter returns to normal soon!! Phil
