Good morning, Ella and Mike, I can easily echo Ella's sentiment about the up & down our temp. around this time does to us poor gardeners. lol. Ella last evening, I too was busy as a bee trying to haul tender plants back indoor to protect them from surprise/potential frost. But, that's the small price we pay for an early start in spring. I guess, that's just a way mother nature tests our patience and devotion to the love of gardening?

Mike, Tulips are a much loved spring blooms in my garden. But after so many trials and errors. I've come to term with them: Treat them as annuals. Our hot weather isn't ideal for us to nuture them .... just like Ella has mentioned.

Ella spring time is right upon us, or more than half way there. April will be a busy month for us, unless miracle happens, I don't know if I can break away for more RU...

Most perennuals has re-sprouted here too, though I don't see the hibiscus yet. I've a few Formosian Lily seedlings that I nursed in the makeshift-gh over the winter....will be ready to put them out soon and hope to see them flowering maybe next year?

Mike I planted some tiger lilies' bulblets last spring in a raised well drained bed. They appeared to have vanished in late autumn, but they're taking off and looking bigger this time of year. So I hope I see more of them. Other Asiatic Lilies I've transplanted last fall is also poking their noses through the ground. I'm looking forward to see more of them this growing season. I'm glad to "see" both of your posting.

p.s.
I've some Wisteria that's about to burst into full blooms. I hope late frost won't damage these lovely blossoms this year.
