Hydrangeas?<br /><br />Annie--I'm happy your plumbago wasn't a complete loss.

I thought my 2" was terrific... well, I still do. <br /><br />Your lavender is going to be incredible - and your garden must smell wonderful! <br /><br />My plumbago was frozen to a few inches tall and it turned out to be <i>A Good Thing</i> for the nearby plants who had been oppressed by its thuggish ways.

I'm thrilled it's bouncing back so well. <br /><br />Two of my smaller, younger ones are behaving like yours. Their cool blue keeps me somewhat sane in the summer.<br /><br />My rain gauge is small and simple, but I think it's fairly accurate. I'm so grateful for that rain!Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517165081477969468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047665621527595201.post-20896773423236031332010-05-15T15:41:10.851-05:002010-05-15T15:41:10.851-05:00Wow! 4.5 inches of rain.

We've need the rain so desperately this May.<br /><br />Both my plumbago plants froze down to the ground this winter. They're coming back but they aren't anywhere near to flowering. Seeing yours gives me hope. I love that cool blue during our hot summers.mss @ Zanthan Gardenshttp://www.zanthan.com/gardens/gardenlog/noreply@blogger.com
