Pieris 'forest flame'

Mine are just appearing as well,Sheila..have you had a hard frost forecast for tonight,like us? They may well be brown by tomorrow ! :o(

Thanks for cheering me up, Bloomer, lol! Yes, a frost is forecast, but at least there'll be plenty more bracts to come . .

Lol,Sheila..at least we know there will lots more.but isn't it annoying after not having a hard winter ?

Very Bloomer, I'm just waiting for the devastation on all the young growth. I cannot remember such a mild winter, my garden cannot believe it!
Nice Sheila, love to see the red tinges (no brown tinges, thank you)

Absolutely, Dawnsaunt!

Wonderful red colour coming through ..

Sheila, we had a hard frost last week but not too much damage, well enough but hey ho, how about you?

Hi Sheila...
I forgot to ask ... did the foliage get damaged by the frost ?

Yes, Dawnsaunt and Terra . . . we had a very hard frost a few days ago, and the bracts did get the frost! However, I'm very relieved that the Amelanchier buds escaped . . . no explaining it.

Frost does sometimes seem to attack just in 'pockets' ... and other areas of the garden escape !

My Amelanchier seems OK too but the Camellia flower is brown, not sure if the buds will still flower.

You're probably right, Terra.
I'm hoping your Camellia will be OK Dawnsaunt . . .

thanks sheila
