    Pale yellow wallflower, blue pansy, yellow jasmine, yellow rose, white bacopa, pale blue lobelia! viburnam and nearbye; pink valerian! It has been pretty warm the last few weeks, so I don't think it is a typical new year's day.

    To me the weather we're getting now feels more normal than all that snow and cold. I don't remember much that I was taught in school but warm, wet, westerly winds in winter has stuck.

    Along with grass doesn't grow below 43degF.  That's not bad for all those years of education.image

  • My flowering shrub is called choisya ternata. Weather permitting will go out tomorrw and have a proper look to see if anything else is in flower.

  • Wow, that Choisya is certainly confused - they normally flower in June! Not the first report I've seen of it flowering at this time, though.

    Choisya is good for an autumn/winter flowering. Mine rarely lets me down
