It was quite cold yesterday in middle TN (my wife and I went to help my parents out by picking up sticks from their earlier in the week ice storm which required a coat, gloves, and hood). Today it was warm enough to go without my coat all day. The prediction is 70 on Wednesday - that will get things popping.

I was in Boston many years ago in November (work related) - it was quite depressing due to the much shorter days than we have and the intense cold. I certainly hope it is a lot better in summer and I am looking forward to this trip.

Here is Selph's Mahogany - has dark, round, thick, fairly large leaves but the tiniest blooms. Same picture - just the blooms are cropped in the first photo. I wished rhizomatous would wait until they are outdoors to bloom but you cannot change nature much like the red maples.
