Default autumn-flowering plants getting it wrong...

Hi,

I don't know if others have the same experience, but I noticed in my
garden that Schizostylis and Japanese anemones are starting to bloom
(both ususally flowering in September or even later)! I'm in
Edinburgh... where , as opposed to many places in UK, we had a very mild
winter...

It happens! Nature's like that. This year my anemones seem to be
playing ball so far. Last year, though, they burst into flower in
early June and were gone over and the foliage was starting to die back
by the end of July. But then, last year I was picking apples in July;
this year the trees are just starting to flower now. And I've been
dead-heading some fuschias today. Such is life

Cheers, Jake
