One or two camellias with buds showing colour (but elsewhere down here
some early varieties have been out for several weeks). No daffs, but
they've been out in a friend's garden for several days. How much of
this is due to our being in the far SW of Cornwall, or the mild
weather, I don't know. No air frost yet this autumn/winter, although a
couple of ground frosts recently (minimum 1C so far).

Happy Christmas (what's left of it) and a successful New Year in the
garden to everyone!


I guess you're further south than I am. I've not had much of a look at the
garden, due to a virus infection, but still flowering plants include
Lavatera 'Bicolor', Lavatera 'Princesse de Ligne', Lavatera x clementii
'Rosea', Lavatera cretica, Malva sylvestris x durieui, Abutilon x
hybridum, Anisodontea malavastroides, and brought indoors last week and
still flowered Anisodontea capensis and Anisodontea x hypomadura.

Oh, and Meconopsis cambrica.

On the way back from the supermarket on Tuesday I noted Smooth Sow
Thistle, Groudsel, Common Ragwort, Nipplewort and Yarrow in flower.
