The Solomon Seals have broken thru! (The first was again compliments of Bobert). They went dormant early last year and I have been anxiously looking for them, afraid they too had not survived the drought. Lilies are up from 2 to 5 inches, depending on the type. It looks like the old growth on the mophead and lace-cap hydrangeas has died, but new sprouts are starting to appear from the roots.
