Just popped out and bought some seeds and then cut the large branches off the sickly Laburnam to stop it wobbling around so much in the wind. Hopefully it won't fly through the window now!
Was out yesterday so had a look today; I am amazed as to what's in flower, albeit "only just" in some cases!
Winter-flowering jasmine is really giving it laldy at the moment!
Several heathers
Wallflowers (those that haven't blown out of the ground!)
Cyclamen coum
Primula wanda & others
Primroses
Witch hazel
Viburnum bodantense Dawn
Sedum spectabile - horizontal but still red!
Lamium (the mainly white leaf with purple flowers)
Pansies, various colours
Osteospernum Springstar Magenta- 5 flowers & loads of buds
Scabious, pale lilac, tatty but flowering
Anthemis Tinctoria EC Buxton (the one I forgot to cut down)4 flowers
Sweet William, just a couple of stems
A small creeping ranunculus has 2 tatty almost gone flowers
Clary sage has a couple of purple bracts
Achilleas have a few flower heads left
The Chaenomeles Rubra & Pink Lady are not actually out but the buds are really fat
The cineraria has lots of buds showing yellow but none out
Finally, the wide bowl of autumn crocus of which about 20% flowered in the autumn has 1 plant with a hint of purple thinking about coming through.
A few bulbs here & there are poking through the ground & those in troughs & pots are up a couple of inches or so -it'll be a long time before they're out!!
Not a sign of flowers on my Gautheria, but lots of berries

Afternoon,
I know it's technically the 2nd, but the weather here yesterday was truly horrid, and didn't stop once.
So I had a gander today and found
2 types of violas
fuchsia
chamomile
rosemary (covered in flowers)
veronica (speedwell type)
campanula (alpine)
and amazingly a lavender
Not a lot I know, but it has made me smile and lots more is in bud.. I'm ready for spring now.
I think a day late after yesterday's weather is totally acceptable MM,
and it does cheer you up.

Oh Heck
Now, let me see
Violas, various colour ways
Feverfew
Roses: The fairy pink and white, white goose, Malvern Hills
Erysinum
Primula
Antirrhinum
Arabis Ferdinand-Coburg
Skimmia buds - aways look better than the flowers In think
Hellebore corsicus in bud but not yet opened
Rosemary
Yep Nutcutlet, It definitely cheers you up.
Just popped out and bought some seeds and then cut the large branches off the sickly Laburnam to stop it wobbling around so much in the wind. Hopefully it won't fly through the window now!
Thanks again for your help.

We've got an amazing collection between us

I have been away until today, but it has inspired me to go and look around my garden, once the rain stops blowing horizontally across it
This post made me look more closely at garden and today I noticed these
It's a clematis called ------------Bell I think. It's the first year it has flowered so feel very chuffed with it
