Well, since Davie and Hetty started spring threads, I figured I would too. There is not much to show though, and I think both Arizona and Florida are probably warmer at night than we are still. It is a pleasure to see flowers again though in the yard.

Here is 'Singapore.' This one started blooming last July and hasn't stopped since. It got moved to the portable greenhouse for the winter and is outside now. It never got Black Tip, and it never lost its leaves. I actually have three 'Singapores' because I love them so much. I also have several other obtusa species that never lost their leaves during the winter including 'tuberculata,' 'Hanging Windmill,' 'bahamiensis,' 'jamaicensis,' 'stenophylla,' 'Dwarf Singapore White,' and 'Dwarf Singapore Pink' among others. Some of these were not in the greenhouse but were out in the cold and still never lost their leaves.
