Recession?

28/02/2009 by David.

I have been looking for it for weeks, and although the signs of spring are all around my mimosa is being very shy this year.  I see from an earlier blog it flowered in January! Not this year.  The icy weather has had its impact on the small tree and all it can manage are some partly opened buds.  I look every day to see if there is any improvement. These are troubling times - perhaps the mimosa has found that the icy weather - like sub prime mortgages - has stunted its growth?  Of course the acacia is an exotic plant - tender, and susceptible to weather. I notice that, as if in competition, the hazel next to it has produced more long catkins than ever!  Still any sign of spring is to be welcomed.   We are into Lent.
