Wallflowers flowering this year.

Hi All
My wallflowers have been producing flower buds and some flowers for about three weeks.  I have been pinching them out assuming that if they flower now I will get nothing in the spring.  Am I doing right or..................?
Cheers
Bob

    ohh be careful about pinching them out once the flower buds have formed or flowered.  I did that in early Spring and they never came back......... 
    Someone with more knowledge will be along later.

    Let them flower. They will keep going while the weather is mild. My forgetmenots have started to flower.

    I had some, admittedly, a slushy mixed plasticene colour, last year and they flowered all through the winter.
    I think there is a variety that flowers in the autumn. Unless there's a better colour palette, I wouldn't recommend them.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Thanks for the comments.  I shall leave them alone and see what next spring brings.  Cheers
