Yay! I'm sure you were having doubts since it's so late. Hope it will go ahead and bloom this year so we can see what color it is. They're not slow growers.

I was beginning to wonder about my potted crape myrtles on the patio. The larger crape myrtles in the ground have had growth for awhile but growth is just starting on one of my potted ones. I noticed it yesterday. There's another one on my patio that still looks dead, but it needs to be moved out into the sun. It's in an old wooden barrel and I'm afraid it will fall apart if I try to move it. I want to wait until it dries out so it won't be so heavy at least.

I think I have it too close to a monster forsythia and on the north side. I plan to move it to full sun shortly.

Yea, it is a great day when you find life if you thought it was gone bye bye! I have something 4ft tall I don't even remember planting or know what it was that is dead.
