Any plant that flowers after August or in winter: cyclamens, carnelian
cherry, witchhazel, dawn viburnum, snow-crocuses, autumn crocuses,
snowdrops, hazels, winter jasmine, hellebores, winter iris, Camellia
sasanqua, several kinds of pussy willow shrubs, winter-flowering
honeysuckle, sarococca, kaffir lilies, heathers.... Most of these are
pollinated either by winter moths, or the wind.

i noticed today that my winter heather was *covered* in bees. i figure it's
because it's the only thing in bloom right now...
