Well it's still a strange year.
Last year I planted 6 early varieties of daffs trying to get a variety
that would flower outdoors for Xmas, well this year we wont make Xmas but
Early January looks a possibility

The Tree dahlias are still flowering with a lot more in bud, so that's
Dahlia Imperialis

and Dahlia Tenuicaulis

Whilst the first Camellia flowers are open around 3 months earlier than
last season

Not to mention Blackberry flowers still out.
At this rate I could have a very strange mix in the New Year
How mixed up is your garden?

Just back from a walk around The Savill Garden and noticed one of their
large pink Camelias (large tree sized) in full flower, looked stunning with
the bright blue sky behind. Also two clumps of Snowdrops in full flower.

Here are a couple of photos...
