Over twenty plants flowering in my garden on New Years Day when it reached 14 degrees. Best show from Jasmine nudiflorum, Iris unguicularis and the white and pink heathers.
They are in hanging baskets if that helps I think you could be right Dove and Chicky I did keep the labels for a bit but threw them away expecting all to be dead by now I clearly need one of your diaries
It was the first hellebore I ever saw, hundreds of years ago, Philippa. We moved to a tied farm cottage and it was in the garden, I had no idea what it was.
Had to wait for my mum to visit. She was hot on wild plants
