Grape hyacinths always grow their green this time of the year, they won’t flower until next year. That’s just how they are.
If daffodils are planted deep enough they won’t show until after Christmas. If they’re in pots they probably won’t be planted deep enough. If they do come up during a warm spell, they’ll slow down through December and flower when they should in the Spring.
As the sun heats up we will all have heat like Barcelona, We may as well get used to it, we only have about a billion years on this earth then we will disappear, the water first, then us and all living things then the whole planet a few billion years after that.
There’s a cheerful thing. 😀
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Nothing is behaving bizarrely here. None of my once-bloomers are reblooming and none of my spring flowers are making early appearances. I feel quite cheated.
Interesting, I was thinking the same, our Ceanothus is flowering again quite extensively. A spring flowering viburnum has a few flowers on it now. I agree @Lyn lots of things have the odd extra flower in a mild Autumn but, one of my apples is showing more and more clusters of flowers at this time of year. Last year a couple of buds even set new fruit. ( They fell off in winter of course). I have commented before things like blackberry which used to ripen in late August and September, now come in July .
My ceanothus just started flowering again (though far less flowers than its normal spring flush). Maybe it thinks it's spring now after a September that was much warmer than our cool, damp July.
I've had a few late flowers on my spring-flowering ceanothus as well, and today I noticed a forget-me-not flowering very early (it's one of this year's seedlings so early rather than late). On the other hand one of my salvias, "Phyllis' Fancy", has just got going.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
My potentilla ‘double punch cream’ planted in spring, had a few flowers on it then, but is now in full flower. Not sure whether to prune it slightly over winter- I may just leave it this year as it’s new.
My dahlias have been "late" compared to other years. The scented azalea just flowered,it has done this before. The cosmos was slow to flower, this year, but a few weeks ago, I was listening to GQT Friday afternoon, forgotten if it was Bob Flowered or Mathew Pottage, said it's a short day flowered, and this is perfectly normal.
