Shivering and cold.. Herks Beauty is yet to be shown....

A very quick update on Herks progress... I believe that the lack of sunlight is slowing him down a wee bit!

Who can blame him...

This is what he was looking like on Saturday...

Here he is this morning.... each of the red "fingers" will open into its own fireworks of blossom... The smell is very heady. 

I won't show you outside... not even the freaky amount of birds I have in my garden. Its a bit like an Alfred Hitchcock movie!...

Check back and see how Herk is doing by Friday. Hopefully the first bloom will be open to bedazzle us.

Stay warm and safe where ever you are... or at least if your part of the vast majority of North America getting hit with this Polar vortex.
