I'm soooooo sick of winter too. We had a pretty mild winter but enuf already. My stuff is really growing and buds are everywhere. Love it. Your blooms are all gorgeous. Love your pic of A Shropshire Lad!!

A SHROPSHIRE LAD is one of those Austins I lust for but know there's not the space for it :-(

I will enjoy yours.

Very refreshing.

Our little bit of snow is long gone, but it's been overcast and windy.

What a beautiful pic of Shropshire Lad !

Don't even have buds forming yet here--though I squinted real hard at Scepter'd Isle--was that a bud trying to form? or just another leaf?

Right now I'm appalled at how much winter damage my roses suffered. A lot of them with deadwood nearly to the soil line.

Good news is that all of them seem to be working hard on producing new red growth from the roots or the graft.

Bad news is that I no longer remember which ones were own root and which ones were grafted--so I won't know for some time yet if that is good growth that is appearing.

Gee, I hate this waiting period!

Your ASL looks beautiful! I had 5 (I think they sent me one Queen of Sweden by mistake) but they all had RMV - didn't grow much and one or two blooms per year. They're gone now but love to see his bloom.

That azalea is striking - very nice!
