A few days ago I had a look at the apples to see if they had ripened,

unique.

The Ceanothus arboreus has over a dozen flowers out. Most certainly not
unusual, as Ceanothus often has a few flowers out in early autumn.

But I just had a look at the Hamamelis mollis I bought a couple of
months ago, and whose leaves are rapidly turning their yellow autumn
colour. I found it smothered in flowers! Why is it flowering now? There
hasn't been even a hint of cold weather. I guess there is a good chance
that it isn't mollis, but virginiana, and the buyer is more confused
than the plant!



Not veg but my honeysuckle is flowering its head off, better than the
spring.

Weirdest thing I have were white hyacinths that had already flowered
once this spring in flower again about a month ago. Malformed in that
the flower stalk barely got above the ground before the flowers opened.
