Not even a crocus has popped up and normally they might have by now. It’s official spring here in 2-3 days and there’s still loads of snow on the ground! Erica (I had no idea there was a flower named Erica and it’s pretty!) My cousin’s wife is Erica - the Mom of the birthday kids yesterday! Yes i think Erica is what i knew as Heather in the Uk (correct me if im wrong) it is very pretty. My mums favourite place to go was in the Heather garden's in Windsor Great Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to grow them from seed each year, then harvest the seeds for the next year. Azalea Mine are JUST starting to get buds. They normally bloom by Mother’s Day but with the cold “Spring” we’ve had the leaves didn’t even grow. Now in the past few days of SUMMER heat, they are almost ready to burst! Amazing (but not so good for allergies! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
