For a breath of spring - as we experience it here in the Washington, D.C. area - take a look at the photo gallery at the end of the March 2006 PVC Bulletin: http://pvcnargs.org/pvc_bulletin_March_2006.htm/ My Tecophilaea is there, too. Jim McKenney Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, USDA zone 7, where some herbaceous peonies which jumped the gun and were eight inches out of the ground were cut badly by a freeze last week.
