The first year, nothing happens. The second year, it's moving slowly. Then , finally, the third year, the blossoms (or whatever I'm waiting for) appear. I'm not patient. I want my lilacs to bloom as soon as I plant them.Hollacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916548022979567056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-33378877666934517952010-10-29T04:20:25.075-07:002010-10-29T04:20:25.075-07:00My burning bush is half-way along.

It's too bad that the maple trees you planted aren't giving you the same show of red every autumn but as you read perhaps as they get older that will happen? <br /><br />The trees here in New York are taking a much longer time to turn colors. Even my fig tree still has green leaves and usually by this time of the year all the leaves would have yellowed and fallen off!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-8003292162278693152010-10-28T09:47:04.345-07:002010-10-28T09:47:04.345-07:00Burning bushes just glow - they are aptly named.

Let's see... if the trees were planted somewhere drier? or maybe an early fall frost? or maybe more hot sunshine in the summer? or... Just curious... When you figure it out, you can let me know why this year, when everything was green and growing happily here, the bougainvilleas look so puny. Actually, we could probably come up with a long list of horticulturally related "why?"s - but your burning bushes are gorgeous.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183404267160772530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-82904926015011253292010-10-28T06:28:49.685-07:002010-10-28T06:28:49.685-07:00They really are like burning bushes, aren't th...They really are like burning bushes, aren't they?
