To our surprise and delight this is flowering now. It's been in the garden
for about four years, I should think and this is the first time it's
flowered. Nothing madly exciting about them but it's lovely when something
suddenly does something unexpected. Now we'll see if it sets fruit!

Mine haven't even come into leaf yet Sacha! You are definitely early
Never had mine in flower but they are only about three or four years
old. A friend has one in his garden but though sheltered and next to
several quite tender plants it never seems to even look as if it might
flower!

Yes, things are very advanced here and our Poncirus flowers were a great
surprise to us, too! The wisteria everywhere is magnificent - must be an
exceptionally good year for it.
And I'm happy to say that down here, the oak is out before the ash!

Singleton Park in Swansea have a lovely mature bush that flowers every
year, lovely scent, but not a bush you want to stick your nose into to
smell.

We had one a few years ago and it flowered regularly - once it was
old enough - and we had fruit! We were thrilled.

You have just made me want to get another one! Still maybe this
year I will settle for the dwarf pomegranate I bought in Cheshire
last w/e.

Lovely plants, pomegranates, the flowers are gorgeous.
