Dormant? You should see my garden. Thanks for the color.

That hospital maple sure is gorgeous! You're lucky to still have flowers. I miss my white camellia from when I lived in z9. I wonder if the new homeowners kept it up. We have our first snow of the season today, and it's pretty out there.... will get old fast, though, lol.

It's a little early for the camelia to start flowering for me but the Hellebores are busy showing their faces...

And a persistant snapdragon is still putting on a good show...

Beautiful flowers Utog! No flowers here….first big snow 4-8 inches expected. Can’t say I’m sorry. We have been in a drought for 2 years including lack of snow……of course I don’t have to shovel it…… :-)

Debra, current temperature 72 degrees F.
That said, I spent the afternoon clustering my potted hostas together, then top dressed them with top soil, mushroom compost, and oak leaves. Then, I spread wire fencing over the cluster to deter squirrels. Temperature in 3 days may be 27 degrees F.
