Buds equal optimism
by Sharon Bryson » Nov 19, 2008 6:49 pm
This time of year we are always ogling the many buds on various plants, hoping winter will be kind.
The rhododendrons are the most obvious, and have a charm on their own.
Click to see the bloom of this plants' buds
These are the first we have seen on this "old" plant.
The azaleas seem to have several forms, from skeletal ............
........... to the the still leafy forms that hide the flower buds.
It is nice to see a lot of buds on the yellow magnolia called 'Butterflies'
Even the honeysuckle were still showing some late colour.
There seem to be rose buds until real winter......some might make it.
This one tried.
