well, today hit 88 , after low in the mid 30's a few days ago. soem clems are showing some effect the cold winter and unusual spring. but that is too be expected. sometimes damage from a late cold snap show up when the plant is stressed, like todays 88 degree surprise. been out watering instead of the planned chores and pinching off leaves that look sad. of course one thing leads to another and spotted a suspected insect problem on a couple of clems that i will treat after the sun goes down. al this said the warmer weather is starting to bring out the beauties as well as the beasts.
here is multiblue blooming single, but with the usual huge boss. this is because i trimmed parts of the plant back in early spring to rid it of winter damage.
