    I made a list and took accompanying photos but don't have a lead to transfer them from my new phone to the PC. I sent them to OH and he uploaded them but I was disappointed that the true colours weren't accurately represented. Hey ho. Here's the list: bougainvillea, alstroemeria, antirrhinum, gazania, calendula and (I think) arabis in the field (much enjoyed by the bees), lavender, rosemary, viburnum x 2, crocosmia, camellia Yuletide, incense, Chinese forget-me-not, lantana, osteospermums, white mandevilla, red dipladenia, boronia, mahonia, firecracker, mimosa, tagete (just the one), violas, salvia leucantha, lampranthus, gaura, polygana myrtifolius and last but not least a stunning anemone (Mistral Vinato). Admittedly some of them only have one or two flowers on whilst others have flowers and buds. We are having a very mild winter here. (Bet you're glad I couldn't upload the photos  ;):D ). 

    Lovely to see everyone's flowers - thank you.

    Due to me having a big garden tidy and move around,  I didn't get round to flower counting,  not much showing. 
    However,  my lovely customer/ friend in Felixstowe who has the most beautiful garden has joined in the count so I'm listing them for her. I've been trying to convince her to be brave and join us on here as not only would she enjoy it she's incredibly knowledgeable,  kind and patient.  I'll send her a link to this and hope she pops in! 😀

    That’s one heck of a list @WonkyWomble 😊 How lovely to garden by the sea and get the benefit of a slightly milder climate 😊 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    It's lovely @Dovefromabove we have been adding a new veg and fruit area with lots of new additions and totally redesigned the island flower beds,  really looking forward to seeing how it looks!

    I enjoyed this conversation about in a winter garden in New York State.

    The camelias are just breaking near me. There's a wonderful bush on the next road which flowers continuously from now until June.
