Default New Year's Day plant count

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.

I shall certainly do a plant count on NYD. I usually do it on Christmas
Day, but have decided to join the rest of the gardening world this year. I
usually to a flower/flower bud count, berry count, and coloured bark count,
so that I'm including all forms of colour in the garden - with the exception
of the garden gate, et al.
