Etelka - the iris look so good after being in snow in Maine! Be sure to post photos of the bottlebrush in full bloom. I don't think I've ever seen one.

Thanks, Annette. I did go out to check about 20 minutes ago and the oldest of the three Omoshiro has big fat leaf buds but the other two aren't showing any signs of spring growth...yet.

Marie - keep that chin up! Once April arrives you'll spot new growth. When they start growing they leap into action. The second photo shows Liberation and how it grew from ground level to 5' tall in just 34 days.

Marilyn - I worked in the next town, Hauppauge, for years.

I have seen camellias growing in arboretums inside but not in homes. Maybe that was why the doctor got only one bloom.
