Yes my fuchsias are flowering too and so are the nasturtiums. I am wondering
if this is the first year they will not die off but with today's Arctic
weather I think that is a forlorn hope

My tuberous begonias fell to last night's frost, the first
biting frost of the season here at Borlochs Hall. This has established
a new record for begonia longevity in my garden, beating the previous
record (1996) by 26 days.

Several years ago I had fuchsias in flower (although somewhat bedraggled)
until Christmas eve and last year I had some in flower until new years
eve,
shame they didn't make it until new years day.

I noticed yesterday morning that a patch of thrift has put up a fresh crop
of flowers, even though there was ice on the bird-bath and frost on the
grass. Also, at the weekend, saw a couple of smallish trees (cherries of
some kind?) covered in pale pink blossom.

I was looking at a hawthorn in blossom this morning, here in Lincolnshire

They could be the winter flowering cherry, Prunus subhirtella, which
flowers all through the winder.
