He everyone.
Have any of you ever had a tree that started to open it's leaves and then stop. My hydrangea has been at a standstill for a few weeks and I'm starting to get a little concerned. The half opened leaves are still green so I'm pretty sure it's not dead.

I re-potted it early this spring, with everyone else. It was budding out fine and then just stopped. it baffles me.
It seems to have opened a little more today.

Well...all is not lost with this hydrangea. I almost forgot that I had 2 cuttings from the original tree. I looked at them today and decided this is the one I'm going to use. It's going to stay in this pot for a few years.
