the lilacs are blooming! big gorgeous purple clusters which smell like heaven. i would have voted the lilac the least likely to make a come back, but the new leaves don't even look like they're coming in curled, which gived me great hope. wheee! :D
i have one phenomenal tulip, but i had to pull one and the other looks like it's being eaten by bugs & hasn't bloomed yet. the wildflowers are stunning, too, though i think i put too many in with the iris & i'm thinking about taking them out to make sure the iris blooms. the lavendar is thriving, though i still have to do aphid inspection. grrr. the hibiscus is recovering, which also surprises me. its flowers are small, but it's trying oh-so-hard.
the poet's jasmine, on the other hand, really isn't going to make it, i fear. i never did end up transplanting it into a better pot, and the "take everything off the porch rail" directive was the final straw. i pruned it vigorously and it has a few buds which just won't open, unlike its brethern in the rest of the complex which are totally proliferate. and i think i should just give up on the rosemary tree i lost at christmas. it's so very pathetic, with one lonely limb sprouting a few needles of rosemary.
still unknown: the gardenia, the alstromeria, the hyacinth, the star jasmine, the freesia, the african daisies.
