It's 49 degrees here in Massachusetts with overcast skies. My little spirea plant just arrived this morning.

I've never grown spirea, so this should be fun!

That’s a cute little plant! We’ll be expecting more pictures as it grows.

I've never grown spirea, so this should be fun! How does that Spirea get? The only Spirea I know about is bridal wreath which is a large shrub with cascading white flowers. People plant tham as hedgerows around here in TX.

I had a couple of spirea bonsais for many years. If you can find an older container with a single trunk it will make a great bonsai. There's a pink one with smallish leaves, might be called Little Princess, gorgeous bonsai and depending on where you live you can mulch it heavy and stick it in the ground for the winter.
Not much happening around here, its been in the low 40's and we still have snow piles on the found and the valley is pretty much still covered. I did get a new backyard composter, square black, snap together, and we put it in a new spot where hubby won't snow plow into it and bust it up.
