Now the leaves have grown and unfurled and the plants look full and lush! The Hosta&#8217;s are each at least a foot and a half in diameter and as the leaves grow more of course they&#8217;ll spread out. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>It just amazes me how fast the plants can grow.  The German Iris&#8217; look like they are developing buds and two of my clematis have tons of flower bud and might even have flowered today. I didn&#8217;t peek at them today so I can&#8217;t say for sure but I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if there are clematis blooms out there. <\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>I think that because of the amazing growth of plants and the fact that we go from snow cover, to dull dead plants to vibrant green with blooms in the such a small space of time is why Spring is my favorite season.  There&#8217;s just so much going on.
