Generally the Baptisias are lush by now but mine are barely noticeable. Must have been the winter.

Not as many eaten lily tops as usual.

Gaillardia totally gone in one area but lush in the attached brick planters in front of the house.

All three pots of crocosmia all dead. Planted crocosmias did fine but are not as tall as usual.

One potted clematis, Florida Sieboldii, appears dead but I didn't fuss with it so maybe life will return. Another self-seeded clematis was so close to a Japanese iris that I had to lift and pot them together and they all survived the winter and are thriving. Both pots were side by side in the dog's pen on a table. Hard to figure it out.

One rose, Sheila's Perfume, dead.

The good news:

Two climbing roses (different exposures and locations) are more lush than ever before.
