Sometimes patience works and other times a plant did not make it through the winter... I take it all in stride but I am very happy to see a plant return again:) <br />Happy Easter!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950638325456390746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-7024288273958731062014-04-17T08:00:32.468-04:002014-04-17T08:00:32.468-04:00Other than some daylilies, everything here is stil...Other than some daylilies, everything here is still dormant. Besides, my yard is so wet, I cannot even get over to the beds to see what is happening. I'll start updating my garden activity as soon as I am done with the A to Z challenge this month. Hopefully, May will have better weather. Temp right now is 31.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-563314605186355852014-04-16T22:04:26.398-04:002014-04-16T22:04:26.398-04:00Hey Thanks!

Do you see any new growth on your current variety or are they still dormant?<br />Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950638325456390746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-89784285345269134242014-04-16T19:58:20.063-04:002014-04-16T19:58:20.063-04:00I ended up replacing them with a newer variety, bu...I ended up replacing them with a newer variety, but not the same as my ones from seed. I am sure after this harsh winter I will have lost several things. I'll just wait and see. At least the latest batch of snow is just about melted.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-8454969657771454952014-04-16T18:05:28.450-04:002014-04-16T18:05:28.450-04:00Thanks!

We had a very mild winter then, as opposed to this year in the arctic freeze. My daylilies had finally popped up - the temp hit 80 on Sunday - and then we got three inches of snow. I think I should just go to Michael's and buy silk flowers and stick them in the ground.

I am having a similar situation with my Heliopsis, although it is only mid April here in Colorado, everything else pretty much shows green growth for a few weeks now. If they did come, how late did they wait to show new growth? And when do they normally emerge for you? Thanks, DaniDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950638325456390746noreply@blogger.com
