Out in the garden, and in no particular order:

Not doing so well, but;-

Hebe
Rose ( Zepherin Drouhin )
Alyssum ( white )
Jasmine ( winter )
Osteospermum
Fuchsia
Erysimum Bowles' Mauve

The nasturtiums finally got toasted during the frost last week :0(

Andy.

Not much that shouldn't be out, but some things looking lovely despite the
cold and grey.
Acacia baileyana
Clematis cirrhosa balearica (and Freckles)
Correa alba,
Coronilla valentina,
Cyclamen coum
Iris Unguicularis,
Lonicera x purpusii
Viburnum bodnantense Dawn
Vinca major alba
Vinca difformis Jenny Pym
Some colour showing on Camellias, but even St Ewe is not yet out which makes
it late as we can normally pick for Christmas.
Special mention for the Bougainvillea (which lives in the conservatory) that
has flowered without a break since this time last year and framed the window
in our dining room for Christmas day :~)

Camellia Narumi Gata is out, so is the mystery C.sasanqua which is so like
the Pilnitz one and the new (to us) one called C. Takanini. The latter
seems to flower so much and for so long that it would almost be easier to
say when it's NOT out! Snowdrops are pushing through under the big cedar
tree, the Clematis cirrhosa balearica and Freckles are out, as are some
Mahonias. Lonicera purpusii is going great guns by the front door.
Viburnum bodnantense Dawn, yes, plus V. tinus and several different Vincas,
Euryops, a pale pink rhododendron the name of which I can't remember, Daphne
bholua, the odd Californian poppy here and there and the Grevillea
rosmarinifolia is doing its best and is nearly there.
