I missed its flowering this year, for which I am very cross with myself. It does seem pretty healthy, though.

It blooms in the Madison area in March. H. virginiana is native in Wisconsin, and it blooms in mid-fall here. They're both beautiful! I don't have any here in my garden, but the arboretum and the botanical garden have some beauties. Thanks for explaining the pollination. Beautiful photos!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-52259728973083830572019-01-23T20:28:12.197-05:002019-01-23T20:28:12.197-05:00I always learn something reading your posts.

I'm wondering when it would flower here - probably not until late March or early April, I would think.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-88365235762604953342019-01-23T15:59:57.305-05:002019-01-23T15:59:57.305-05:00Your photos are fabulous and so is your story tell...Your photos are fabulous and so is your story telling! xoxoGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.com
