I've not walked the garden today but, from the window, it doesn't look good at all. I'm afraid to look closer! <br /><br />CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-2518653274123553972010-01-14T14:50:24.165-08:002010-01-14T14:50:24.165-08:00It's a beauty, Phillip, hope Les is right.

We shall see in the spring, but right now we need some rain. Warm rain would be good. :-)<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-46329933425154073302010-01-14T14:21:40.972-08:002010-01-14T14:21:40.972-08:00We have an armandii growing in the gardens at work...We have an armandii growing in the gardens at work, which is a zone colder than home. We get into the lower teens out there a couple times each winter and the plant has lived for at least 13 years.
