Barren @Dovefromabove but I am hoping to change all that if it ever stops raining! I am sure I brought plenty of bittercress with me so maybe next year?

Vinca and viburnum. That's it First time I've had a good look at the garden in months. Four categories: Definitely alive Probably alive Probably dead Definitely dead.
Native primulas Dark Hellebore The protected Mahonia flowers - a small bunch of them Various berried plants - mainly the big Cotoneaster and the white berried Gaultheria
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I didn't need to go outside to count this really, Mahonia, one of the popular yellows, Charity or Winter Sun (forgotten).
On the plus side a few bulbs and bits of new growth are showing here and there, but that might be a false reaction to the end of the recent snowy snap.
One cyclamen coum, some mouldy looking primroses, hellebore Merlin with two flowers on Viburnum behind, first flower on variegated Coronilla and small pot of Erica carnea.
I've just been for a walk around Regent's Park and Primrose Hill. Plenty of mahonia in flower ( no idea which of charity or winter sun), some white chaenomeles (? thought was too early for them but I'm not sure what else it could have been ) . Didn't see any buds on the roses but they have been pruning them , most are defoliated.
"My" patio -- other than a couple of blush noisette buds showing colour, and some hebe flowers past their best, only thing abundantly flowering is a hellebore , but since that's a potted christmas present that hasn't actually made it off the kitchen table, I'm not sure it counts.

Hellebore … I think this is a self-seeded one.
