I managed (with some help) to find the following in our garden and adjoining field. Perhaps someone can fill in the blanks for me. A Very Happy New Year to you all.
Wow, that’s quite a haul GD ...and lovely photos too.
Slimmer pickings here but not too bad. 13 in flower (Iberis, lithodora,daphne, viburnum dawn, rosemary, aubretia, hazel catkins, rudbeckia, native hellebore, polyanthus, rosa winchester cathedral, cyclamen coum, little flowered dandelion thingy 🤪). 3 in bud (chanomeles, oriental hellebores and pieris).
Also very excited to see so many signs of life - from summer perennials starting to poke their noses up, to pulmonaria and dicentra getting ready to strut their stuff. Less excited about the weeds ....must get out there soon 🙄
Not much in the garden This is supposed to be a deep red standard rose, but at the beginning and end of season it always does this. Primrose, Anemone, and lawn daisy. Do you count rose hips( they are a lovely colour) and hazel catkins. What about the things overwintering/dying back in the greenhouse? I have a few in there.
Very few flowers apart from the violas that I planted in pots.
Violas A few periwinkle 2 snowdrops, there are lots but not ready yet. Winter honeysuckle, just coming out. Dark red hellebore in bud. Rosemary in bud. Viburnum Tinus Mahonia Charity - just edited and added!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Slim pickings from me too, but frankly I don’t venture into the garden much in winter so I’m not too fussed. Having trouble attaching captions to all the plants but there’s a geranium, vinca major and minor, primula, campanula muralis, aubretia, hellebore, cyclamen, knautia macedonica, violet, borage and yellow-thing-near-the-bonfire-pile though I’m not convinced that’s its real name.
Sorry, don't know what happened there, these are pictures I took today. There is also lonicera Hallina with a few flowers on and masses of catkins on purple hazel. Also many self sown things (weeds) which I am now going out to tackle as the sun is shining.
