A couple (I had 6) might have come back from the base (green wood) but they were so ugly I couldn't look at them any longer. All of the upright, bushy ones, seem to be fine.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-86012788389042667112014-03-30T13:13:39.508-07:002014-03-30T13:13:39.508-07:00how have the grevillea held up after the freeze? i...how have the grevillea held up after the freeze? i spotted a blooming grevillea 'long john' at cornell farms today and i am obsessed with them nowChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674080999452441861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-19844706492498098892014-01-16T20:48:38.614-08:002014-01-16T20:48:38.614-08:00Wish I could sneak into my old (sold) garden about...Wish I could sneak into my old (sold) garden about eight blocks away; it had a lot more mature winterblooming shrubs than my new one with little baby shrubs...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-15505221374335268972014-01-16T16:57:11.980-08:002014-01-16T16:57:11.980-08:00Oh I hope they have another one for you Tamara, or...Oh I hope they have another one for you Tamara, or maybe they can bring more in...danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-63605511449670339472014-01-16T15:27:53.300-08:002014-01-16T15:27:53.300-08:00Oh, me too you guys.

I'm jealous - here there's nothing! I was thinking about planting a hamamelis too, because I love them so much (old, happy memories of a garden brimming with them - and sweetly scented Cornus mas - I think you need quite a lot of flowers to really experience the scent when you are outdoors). We're a bit alkaline here, but your pictures have inspired me to have a go - I can only fail!

You made an good choice! Color and fragrance in January's gloom can be such a lift. I have two manzanitas, a "Harmony" and "Louis Edmonds". The Harmony was just planted last year, so I expect no blooms, but the Louis Edmonds blooms in April, and is beginning to show buds. I'll have to check out Austin Griffiths, since I'd much rather have blooms now than April when there's so much else blooming. Still, L.E. has beautiful bark and upright form.

I saw the first few Edgeworthia flowers open today here in North Carolina (oh the scent. . . oh the drool. Wait, what? Pardon me.). I can catch a little scent from most witch hazels, but never much. I wouldn't call yours boring at all (besides, it might be sensitive about that.) In fact the extra fragrance I think makes it much better! Fragrance is so often overlooked (literally, people are so visual.) Although saying I favor fragrant plants is too close to picking a favorite plant. Whatever catches your eye, or nose, at the time, right?Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-90167583468043309992014-01-15T14:10:15.511-08:002014-01-15T14:10:15.511-08:00I love your comment, djinn.
