Nice spotting. The seasons are nice. Cold, fewer bad insects. Always
warm lots of nasty gnats and such. I always like your posts.
I would like to see more of your garden..

You must not have any Vinca Minor.
Ours bloom all winter. (Central NJ, USA.)

Admittedly it's one or 2 flowers in 200 sqare feet,
but it's nice to go out even with snow on the ground
and see one or 2 little blue flowers.

I just counted 4 flowers 2 days ago.

I have them. I vaguely remember that I have seen blooms still in
November. I live at 48° latitude, which would be relative to America
somehwhere at the North/South border between Canada and USA. Periwinkle
doesn't flower here (Central Europe) in winter. I looked today, there
aren't even buds either.

Vinca is very invasive up here, even though it goes dormant in the
winter. My wife has declared war on it, while I like it, so we don't
discuss it any more.

We're latitude 40.
I never see any buds, just the flowers.
I don't see anything online about late or winter blooming.
Maybe I should keep closer track...

We do have a lot of it, it fights with the pachysandra for dominance
in the back part of our yard.

You wouldn't like it as much if it'd swamped everything else!

You could send a pic of the winner.
