A poor show in my snow flattened garden here in the east Mids I'm afraid. One red pulsatilla and a few Geum Prinses Juliana........oh and a few cyclamen. Snowdrops coming up nicely which is good as I've transplanted them last year.
Here's mine - got cold fingers, so typing will be a bit hit and miss ......
sarcococca, primroses (lots), witch hazel pallida, fatsia, winter honeysuckle, kerria,vinca, daphne JP, cyclamen coum, heather (lots), viburnum dawn,rudbeckia (one flower left over from summer, but its still yellow, so think it counts), rosemary, stinking hellebores (no orientalis yet, though lots of buds), japanese quince, and a very brave kaffir lily
Think that makes 16 -so nowhere near the Nut count, but not too shabby
Wild flower hunt tomorrow in Peterborough - we are meeting at the Rowing Lake, Thorpe Meadows, PE3 6LN at 11am to park, and taking as few cars as possible into the city centre from there. Please let me know if you want to come so that we don't leave without you!

Oh you lucky people! Our season is soooo short
Rain is horizontal, winds ferocious and even the dogs won't go out
So I can't join in the flower count which I was looking forward to.
