Problem has been the lack of sunlight/warmth to ripen the wood. Neither Winter Beauty, fragrantssima nor L. Budpest have shown much in the way of flowering here. The buds just did not get the right growing conditions. This is going to be a problem with many shrubs.
Mine is still asleep too, I blame it ALL on the weather last year....I'm not a happy bunny at the moment as it is by the window and reminds me that warmer days are a coming....nothing this year.
The sun came out yesterday and the weather put a cork in the bucket in the sky, so I was able to viev the "estate". Lots of plants shooting up, I hope we do not get a sharp frost which might hurt them. Never mind, fingers crossed and back to hot drink and seed catalogues Enjoy everyone!

I threaten my plants when they haven't flowered, it always seems to work
Thanks Berghill
Thanks all, Looks like its back to talking to it -angrily
Think Jo and Dove I will leave it, and feed it
The one flower I have is on old wood. I don't think pruning is the answer. What we need is a summer.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thanks Verdun
