Hello Spring

Flowering Quince 'Double Take Orange Storm' and Veronica 'Georgia Blue'

It took its sweet time getting here but last week we had three really warm days that made a dramatic difference in the garden. Last Saturday the temperature got into the high 80s which was unusual. Sunday brought us back into more seasonal weather with more clouds and temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

Remember that pathetic looking Japanese Maple that I posted about earlier. Just look at it now -

Acer palmatum 'Shaina'

Another nice Japanese Maple that is in a pot and unidentified - that is Camellia 'Donation' behind it -
