Default New Year's Day plant count

Sacha,

Re those daffs I saw on a previous thread, which were out on 23rd December,
they are aprroximately outside Otter Nurseries near Brixton just outside
Plymouth, before Yealmpton. They are nothing to do with the nurseries, they
are naturalised in a grassy bank beside the main road about a few hundred
yards up towards Brixton. They don't look out of the ordinary, but they are
consistently early,

Andy

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 doubt anything is flowering under this lot:
