.... and that yellow spring bulb that grows like a weed - looks a bit like a dandelion flower - pretty in ones and twos but is very invasive - bulbils look like little potatoes - brain's gone - help me someone...
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Forgot to add how much I enjoyed doing that ....like Nut, i keep my lists from year to year ...wouldn't miss it as a NY experience. I think it beats champagne.
Hmm, some missing from previous years - no roses, and fewer flowering weeds
This list seems more 'season - appropriate' than some of yours ... possibly due to the fact that most of my beds are in shady areas ... until the new beds are created ...
Geranium Rozanne
Cyclamen coum rubra
Helebore orientalis Mrs Betty Rannicar
Viola odorata
Primula vulgaris
Red deadnettle (lamium purpureum)
Hairy bittercress
Lawn daisy (bellis perennis)
Campanula poscharskyaria
Hellebore orientalis 'Tutu'
Hellebore ericsmithii 'Snow Love'
Viburnum bodnantense 'Charles Lamont'
Clematis cirrhosa 'Freckles'
Crocus 'Snow Bunting'
In cold frame: Begonia semperflorens
Almost out - Sarcocca confuse and lots of snowdrops
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'm really surprised at the things you all have flowering, my garden seems pretty much normal for this time of year (I'm in the NE tho)...I was in the midlands at Xmas and everything seemed much further along than up here...
I counted 8 things flowering that are real plants and 6 weedy plants that I am currently tolerating
Some of the perennials mentioned above melted away with the cold weeks ago and the bulbs are nowhere near ready

Sorry, feeling very lazy.
There are a lot, some late stuff still going strong, but some early stuff no further forward than usual.
