Hi all fellow gardeners! COVID or no COVID, omicron or not, just a reminder that the traditional New Year's Day Flower Count is starting tomorrow, Jan. 1st, 2022.
Looking forward to your lists and pics!
As a starter, here's a pic of one of my "Xmas roses", taken just before Xmas.

    I'm hoping to do a flower count later. At the moment it's vile out there, raining heavily and still almost dark.

    We have bright sun at the mo - for the first time in what feels like months...

    Nothing to photograph yet but I have rudbeckia and echinacea budding before last years’ plants have even died back properly. Clearly a bit confused by the freakish warm, frost-free spell we are currently experiencing!

    @Plantminded Crikey. That's the most intent plant I've ever seen. You might want to take out a restraining order. 

    I do find euphorobia scarily prehistoric looking plants. Like monkey puzzles. They give me the collywobbles.

    @Fire, I like it's determination at this time of year!  The luminous lime green stands out for many weeks and goes well with my fading grasses and emerging bulbs.  Grow one - you'll get to like it! (Did you know that poinsettia is from the same family?)
