Default Christmas Bloomers

Well, not exactly Christmas, because it rained all day on Christmas,
so "Almost Christmas Bloomers".........in Northern California Central
Valley:

China Lily Narcissus
Pansies/Violas
Primroses
Camellias Kanjiro, Setsugekka, Pink Perfection, Yuletide
Abutilon, unnamed variety
Begonias, fibrous, very protected under shrubs
Viburnum tinus
Japanese aralia, Fatsia
Hellebores, in various stages of bud, one is almost ready to bloom

Daffodils are up about 3 inches.

It has not been cold, high 40s F only one cold spell at Thanksgiving
down to 25. Lots of rain and gloom, with very little sunshine (about
5 days in Dec. so far)

Happy New Year to all
