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

Thanks for the reminder Sacha. We had a severe frost yesterday and the day
before (photos included) which didn't do our garden a lot of good so I was
pleasantly surprised to find these few hardy plants showing their pretty
faces this morning.

Very pretty, Val and what an immaculate garden!

Here's our list, though I should emphasise these are things that might have
just one flower on - not that they're smothered in blooms! But they're all
in the garden, not nursery plants in pots etc.

Ivy-leaf pelargonium
Euphorbia wulfenii
Euryops pectinatus
Coleonema
Vinca difusis
Small flowered trailing Campanula
Coronilla glauca
Rosemary Miss Jessop
Rosemary Marenca
Jasminum nudiflorum
Salvia involucrata
Daphne bholua
Camellia sasanqua Narumigata
Camellia williamsii (I think) Takanini just about to open
Cestrum parquii
Lamimum - bright cerise flower, variegated leaf
Cassia corymbosa (in shock, I reckon!)
Chaenomeles japonica
Lonicera purpusii
Clematis napaulensis
Viburnum tinus
Vinca lxyloba
Correa backhouseana
Primroses
Various Hellebores
Argyranthemum (white hybridised here)
Mahonia Charity
Mahonia lamerifolia
Sarcococca confusa
Abutilon (white & pink)
Pittosporum tobira
Exochorda Bridal Veil
Fuchsia microphylla
Hypericum (tall shrubby thing)
Pieris Red Robin
Skimmia
Lonicera tatarica
Unknown bright pink rose
Unknown Clematis (purple)
Euphorbia rigida
Fuchsia exochordicata
Escallonia rubra Macranths
Papaver cambrica

I'm amazed at Charlie's Clianthus and Polygala but he's in the tropics
compared to most! ;-))
Any more?
