RHODY QUESTION ANSWERED

Check it out!  Someone answered my question about when/why the leaves on a rhododendron plant curl!  The why apparently isn't known, but the when is at  -.5C they begin to curl.  Read the whole post - it is a comment on my last post, Nov. 6.  The comment was written by Anonymous (that person really gets around!), so I don't know if it was by one of you or if someone from the Rhododendron Society webpage answered my email on the blog rather than via email.  Anyway, I'm glad and it is interesting.  So this morning, when I went out with the dog, I knew it was below freezing, but not too far below freezing, because the Rhody leaves were beginning to curl, but hadn't yet become pendant.  :-)  Knowledge is fun.
