    Most of the snow has left now but my poor garden is in a terrible state. :( We're now having constant rain which means I can't get out there to start clearing up. So glad you posted a photograph from your garden for us as it has cheered me up to see something in bloom. :-D

    At least you have something green! And your jasmine will be looking great and completely covered soon. You guys have had a lot more rain than I have. All I get is mist!

    Don't forget to take a photo of that Jasmine when it is covered in blooms.
    The one I had on an arbor out back was killed by late season ice we had last spring...one day it was covered in yellow blooms and less than a week later it was a crunchy brown :rolleyes:

    My Carolina Jasmine has budded up, but only one or two open so far. I have a few pansies and the Snowdrops should be putting up buds soon. I am sure the freeze will make the Amaryllis late this year. :(

    I hope that some of my plants will start to come back to life soon. Sure seems like it's been a long hard winter down here.

    Chery,I figured by no you had blooms everywhere in the Houston area.I forgot ya'll got those freezes this time too.In lots of Houston yards they have hibiscus taller than the homes.I got some cutting form my cousins home but they didn't root.She lives off of Belway 8 and Clay Road.There is some wonderful color Hibiscus and sooo big.
