Orange Delight.

4-29-16 SHORT HILLS: Yesterday one of the hibiscuses in the sunroom surprised us with a bit of orange. Outside, I did some more pruning and more clean up. The grass is finally starting to grow, and the mowers will start next week.

The hydrangeas are recovering from the late frost, but slowly and with extensive losses. The three butterfly bushes all died from it. Weather irregularities are not a new thing, but they seem to be happening all the time lately.

New blooms: tea viburnum, jack-in-the-pulpit, mertensia.
