So - what's flowering in your garden on New Year's Day? ;-)


Happy New Year to you all.
Here is my list for 1st January 2009, all out doors. Rather surprised
there is as much as its been cold and I do not plant stuff for this time
of year, also surprising is what is not on the list - no snowdrops,
daffodils, celandines, and even Camellia St Ewe is still in tight bud

Abutilons - megapotamicum, milleri, Kentish Belle, Wisley Red and Nabob.
Acacia retonoides (been flowering since July)
Berberis dawinii
Buddleja salvifolia Alba
Clematis - cirrhosa balearica, Freckles, fasiculiflora, and a late flower
on John Warren!

Coronilla valentina (looking and smelling lovely)
Correas - alba and harrisii
Cytisus Porlock
Chaenomeles Crimson and Gold
Cyclamen coum album
Delairea oderata (Wafting the marzipan scent each time the sun comes out)
Escallonia Golden Brian
Fuchsia magellanica
Garrya elliptica
Helleborous various hybrids plus x sternii, argutifolius, and foetidus

Isoplexis canariensis (still a few flowers - it started end of May)
Lapageria rosea (several)
Lavatera maritima
Lonicera x pupusii

sun comes out)

Senna corymbosa (tail end now and its not enjoying the cold)
Solanum laxum Album
Sollya heterophylla
