I am in Atlanta and my HUGE maple tree thinks it is spring. This is no small sapling but a huge, old tree... This weather really disturbs me. I don't like the fact that my hyacinths are up in full bud or that I have a hundred iris throwing up bud stalks or that I have already had to cut my narcissus to bring into the house as we have a fine ice covering this morning... but that a huge, old maple would think it is spring in January...????? Putting out little red swelling buds... :(
