Andromeda takes the stage.

4-6-14 SHORT HILLS: Today touched sixty and was clear and cloudless. We walked the dogs, and later I did more pruning of winterkill. Every time I think that I found all the damage and pruned it, another broken branch shows up. In a few weeks when new growth begins, some branches turn brown instead of green and the damage is more apparent.

New blooms: andromeda.


Andromeda, a broad leaf evergreen is the first shrub to bloom here.

The flowers are each tiny, inverted bells.
