We usually try - don't always succeed - to go round the garden on NYD to see
what is flowering on that day. I thought it might be interesting if
everyone on urg did that and compared notes, if they are feeling able to do
so, of course. ;-))
For example, we have primroses out at present, as well as all the usual
suspects like Lonicera purpusii and Sarcococcas, Viburnum tinus etc. and on
Christmas Eve we saw two tiny flowered daffs in someone's garden in
Ivybridge, about 30 mins down the A38 from here.

Good idea. I may do that later on today weather permitting. I'm not
familiar with most of the latin names tho and even when I'm told them I tend
to forget but I will take some photos of what is flowering and perhaps
someone will be kind enough to name them for me ?

I'm sure you'll get lots of answers - it will be urg's New Year quiz,
perhaps? ;-))
