Carolyn, I'm not sure if we get Redstarts down here, but we do have a little bigger birds that remarkably Redstart-look-alike. Unfortunately I couldn't recall its common name at the moment. Nice, Marie. zone 6b has awaken, as far as spring goes, so hopefully your will follow suite Carolyn.

My 'Empress' and 'The President' Clem's buds are more swollen, only thing is the double blue bloom clem. 'Francisca Maria' just poked through the ground--whew for a while there I thought it was a gonner!

Enjoy this unusual combo; hydrangea 'snow ball' against the redbud backdrop. (Snow ball' will mature up to a white blossom -- its first begun kinda green lookin'. :)
