just got back to ohio after a couple of business weeks in nyc. thought the dormancy would be breaking, but it is cold, grey and not too many signs of life out there. thank goodness for boxwood, ivy, euyonimous and climbing hydrangea which comes back early here.
supposed to be in the 50's this weekend so i will wait to go out and peek at the hellebores and look for other signs of spring.
anyway, so depressing out there i had to root thru photos to remind me of what is to come.
here is perle d azur from last summer......she should be fantastic this year, and late season last year i planted a henrii planted on the other side of the arch along with a Hf young. hf young is one of my favorites!
