Default 'twas New Year's Day


Today has been a gloriously sunny day although a heavy frost was about
at 10:00am - give me a break it is New Years Day!

In flower:
Sarcococca confusa
Vinca minor
A small plant that was given to me without a label that looks like a
"harebell" perhaps a rockery campanula carpatica with a blue flower.
Several plants of Nemesia denticulata ‘Confetti’, which I understand
is supposed to be tender, but has done well through the last few
winters.
Viola
Primrose
Two very sad looking flowers on Rose 'Dawn'

In the greenhouse
Pelargoniums
Fushia 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt'

Not much, but with the hard frosts we've recently had I'm surprised
what has held on.

There's plenty of promise for the coming months with the hellebores,
bulbs and wall flowers well advanced.

Happy New Year everyone and remember we're already 10 days into
shorter nights!
