Reminder for Christmas Day
Quite a few people do this already but I thought I might give a nudge - if
time and weather permit, it would be interesting to hear where you live and what is in flower, leaf or bud in your garden on Christmas Day. And on that note, it seems a good moment to wish everyone a very happy Christmas from Ray and me and a prosperous New Year with long, sunny, happy, gardening days when it rains only at night. Welcome to Camelot! ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

And what else will you find tomorrow..........? ;-) Early Christmas morning walk round the garden with my old girl shows a distinct reversal to a decade or more ago: unlike recent years, when there were always roses etc., this year six weeks of almost daily frost has done for just about everything, except the faithful prunus subhirtella autumnalis and, of course, the winter jasmine. I live in hope that it has also done for some of the pests and diseases of recent years! A happy Christmas to all! -- Klara, Gatwick basin |
Reminder for Christmas Day
It seems very odd here seing 'winter' jasmine flowering with passion
flowers in the same hedge. Weather today is warm and sunny, skies mainly blue with a scattering of white clouds. Have just had to water all my window boxes and tubs as we haven't really had more than a few spots of rain for a few weeks. Apparently the cool weather we have had for the last few days is very unseasonal and it is normally like this. Strange to be wearing t shirts outdoors at this time of the year. Mike |

A happy Christmas to all! -- Klara, Gatwick basin Thanks for the reminder! made the effort this morning while waiting for children to appear to have a quick whiz around. I noticed the following Acacia retonoides Acacia baileyana Mahonia x media Viburnum bodentense Euryops Tibouchina urvilleana Lapageria's, rosea, Flesh Pink, Nash Court, Alba and Beatrix Anderson. Correa alba Scilla madeiriensis Buddleja madagascariensis (several other Buddlejas nearly there) Coronilla valentina Eupatorium ligustrinium Solanum laxum Album Clematis cirrhosa balearica Clematis fasicuilifolia Camellia 'St Ewe' Was really quite surprised as we don't try at this time of year! :~) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

It's been an odd year. In flower today (some only just!): Euryops pectinatus (smothered in big yellow daisies) Gazanias (when the sun shines!) Gerbera jamesonii Hebes (large flowered reddish purple hybrids) Schizostylis coccinea major Callistemon citrinus splendens (going over) Osteospermum Cyclamen, 'hardy' dwarf hybrids in white, pink, red and plum purple Protea susannae (huge bud about to burst) Camellia transnokoensis Camellia japonica (a Carlyon hybrid from St. Austell, ?Jovey Carlyon) Primula Wanda Primula vulgaris Eriocephalus africanus (South African rosemary) Armeria 'Bees Giant' Olearia semidentata (aka Henry Travers) Kniphofia linearifolia Kniphofia Thomsonii var. Snowdenii Anigozanthus ?rufus (Kangaroo paw, red but more dwarf than the type) Polygala dalmaisiana Bergenia sp. Erica perspicua (Prince of Wales heath, South African) Erica viridiflora (South African) Salvia sp. (evergreen shrubby, long open racemes of good mauve fls.) Lampranthus hybrids (mesembryanthemaceae) Ceanothus sp. (evergreen, dark blue fls. usually in early summer) I don't know the full names of a number of my plants as they've been begged, borrowed and stolen from many sources (I've even paid money for a few!). Down here on the coast in West Cornwall we've had no temperatures below zero and hardly even any ground frost. On the day when it snowed and the Bodmin bypass got snarled up and made the national news, the temperature only briefly touched zero. But here the snow turned to rain in an hour and washed it all away. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |

Reminder for Christmas Day
In my garden in Edinburgh (heavy frosts) there are winter-flowering
jasmine, fatsia japonica, senecio, viburnum and campanula and in the micro-climate in front of the house more campanula, a variety of roses and pelargoniums. Cyclamen are thinking about it! ;0)) Happy Xmas to you all. |
