You really have to deal with extremes, don't you David
So pleased we have avoided frost for a while. Here are some more of my beautiful magnolia in the daylight this time (well, i say mine, but it must be about 50 years old, we inherited it with the house, and i can claim absolutely no credit for its magnificence)
nice magnolia chicky and good pieris, a plant i like but which doesn't like nevada. a friend who high altitude gardens in utah also had a very warm late winter early spring and then 3 ft of snow in the past 2 days. i told her the snow would protect everything but she said that was cold comfort.

And the pieris is loving the warm nights too
And to think magnolias were around before bees were invented
Good job there were beetles

Here are some of the clematis bought from Taylors and planted over the last few weeks.
Excuse the tatty string still tying them in.
Pieris looking flaming great!
Brunnera much blue-er in reality
At last something that grows in this spot!
