*This probably reflects the frosts we've had so far, much earlier than
we normally get them. *The not-very-vast number of things in flower
was: Vinca oxyloba, Rosemarinus marenca, Mahonia bealei, Sarcococca
confusa and S. hookeriana, Camella Takanini and C. sasanqua Narumigata,
as well as the Camellia we think is 'Cherub'. *The two latter are in
full bloom. *There is also Correa backhousiana, Cestrum parquii,
Viburnum tinus, Lonicera purpusii, various Hellebores, *Fuchsia
excorticata in bud, Jasminum nudiflorum, and with buds just about ready
to break, the fishtail Camellia Kingyoba-shiro-wabisuke.
And as a bonus (?!) 3 large badger scrapes towards the bottom of the garden!
