So just how far did the little purple things grow in two (rather chilly, rather cloudy) days? Here are some pictures I got on Tuesday.
Well, these dark dots are on almost all of the buds now.
They look like eyes opening.
The ones that opened first look like they have grape jelly oozing out of them.
What is that stuff going to be?! And if it is the flowers, will any of them turn into the galls that I've seen on my tree? That would be fascinating to see.
And I wonder what effect this morning's snow will have on their growth.
It certainly doesn't make me want to go out! I imagine it might affect them in the same way.
