  Hmm.  Like most of you, we had a lot of autumn flowers hanging on until the freeze came... now the count is down to 4:
  
  Lonicera purpusii
  Vinca major (indestructible, I reckon)
  Erica darleyensis
  One daisy in the lawn...

  Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

  Ooh, I forgot to check the sarcococca. I usually smell the flowers before I see them, so I expect it's not quite open yet.

  Our hellebores are way slower than any of you. Not even a bud in sight. Very unusual.

  Primrose, viburnums, clematis cirrohosa, clematis armandii (in bud not open), vinca major and minor, Calendula, sarcococca, winter honey suckle as well as lonicera, daisy in the lawn, rosemary, land cress, skimmia, strangely one flower spike on one of the lavenders. Mahonia no signs of buds.

  Signs of bulbs coming up but then the squirrel has been at them so probably none to develop later.

  Snap @chicky and @Papi Jo - six here too (20 last year). Though three are just buds so I'm not sure if that's allowed? I figured if I could see petals I would include them...
  
  
  Daphne x transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance', Helleborus x hybridus, Viburnum bodnantense, Viburnum tinus, Galanthus nivalis, Bergenia cordifolia.

  Really nice way of displaying several photos @LG_ so I'll forgive the buds   Lovely to see your Snowdrops coming through though.
  
  We've just got Lonicera purpusii, Hellibore 'Christmas Carol' and several tub displays with various Violas, Pansies & Wallflowers. Our 'Anna's Red' Hellibore has been in bud for the last couple of weeks.

  Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. 
  
  I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
