Is 'Austin Griffiths' rare? Because it looks to me like a plant that anyone who sees it will want one -- and plenty of people have seen it in your garden and Greg Shepherd's.

I'm stuck waiting until things melt this week. I hope your 'Akebono' blooms. The buds on mine started to fall apart after that really cold weather. But my plant is younger and it was already opening a few flowers, so wasn't as hardy. I hope your Hamamelis survives. If it doesn't drop its leaves next year, you might want to pick them off just in case. Might be worth doing on a small plant until the graft strengthens, to reduce the amount of snow it holds.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-76954840874180776882017-01-16T11:46:12.962-08:002017-01-16T11:46:12.962-08:00Your flower photos are beautiful and I am glad you...Your flower photos are beautiful and I am glad you were able to get some shots before the snow. The last three winters have been strangely unpredictable with temperatures in the 50's, then plummeting into the 20's with snow. I guess we have been fortunate so far not to have a lot if ice, which does the damage. I hope all your plants recover alright and that warmer days are ahead for you.Lee@A Guide to Northeastern Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208392136967108192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-12874315981885014282017-01-16T09:43:19.689-08:002017-01-16T09:43:19.689-08:00So sad seeing what things looked like before your ...So sad seeing what things looked like before your snow.

We're going to have a week of jumping temps and precipitation that could go in many bad directions - or not. We bolted the trunk of a Korean maple together after it split one winter and it has survived very well. Maybe that would work on the Hammamelis.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-34388948389862354562017-01-16T09:18:51.295-08:002017-01-16T09:18:51.295-08:00I am impressed you got flower pics!
