I'm concerned they won't flower at the right time, but there's not
much
I can do about it.

Among the odder things in flower are some very confused azaleas.
They got a bit of a shock yesterday when it snowed briefly.

I've got a dozen flowers on Ceanothus arboreus "Trewithen Blue ". But it
often has some flowers at this time, and also seems to be a lot hardier
than is usually stated.

My (nameless) ceanothus is flowering like mad at the moment; and the
hardy fuchsias are having their best display ever.

Yes, I've got some lovely colour on my hardy fuchsias. I shall take
cuttings next year and increase the bounty.

As I posted my first daffs are in flower.
