Crape Myrtle is showing delayed (but appreciated) signs of life today. This poor plant gets hammered every winter, but I thought it was a goner for sure after the one we just suffered through. After today's inch or so of rain it's shooting out new stalks from the base. I don't guess it'll ever be able to make blooms here, but its perseverance is commendable.
Pieris japonica heartily dislikes my garden, but it looks less dead today, too.
Two shrubs left for dead yet...will wait to see what happens in the next few weeks.
Our weeping cherry looks awful; it never bloomed this year, and it's still not fully leafed-out. Anyone else having trouble with cherries this year?
