The shrubs may surprise you yet. Although I am north of you, proximity to the big lake makes me a zone higher. I have a few reliable shrubs that you can barely detect growth on it but when I looked more closely, I saw small bits of buds forming. <abbr><em>Kathryn’s last blog post..<a href="http://getrealscience.com/teacherkathrynj/2009/05/04/5/" rel="nofollow">5%</a></em></abbr> The latest for me is balloon flower so I’ve marked it well.

I've had a couple of surprises with things I thought were dead spring up miraculously. So don't count out those things that haven't made an appearance. As for shrubs that are late to break dormancy, the latest I have are Clethra & Chimonanthus. Neither has leafed out yet, but they have color in the nubs. <abbr><em>Mr. McGregor's Daughter’s last blog post..<a href="http://mcgregorsdaughter.blogspot.com/2009/05/morning-jewels.html" rel="nofollow">Morning Jewels</a></em></abbr> I’m still waiting for the double Sanguinaria, but I’m willing to give them until next year.
