Default 'twas New Year's Day

Well, I knew it wasn't going to be good, and it wasn't!

Although the paths were clear, last night there was still 2-3 inches
snow lying elsewhere. And last night added about another cm to re-cover
all the paths. The ponds have been frozen ever since the snow started.

The big surprise for me was several wallflowers.

Otherwise, it was the usual suspects:

Winter honeysuckle
Winter jasmine
Viburnum tinus
Viburnum bodnantense
Winter flowering chrry
Hamamelis - red
Hamamelis - yellow
Heather
Hebe - a big tall one with purple flower spikes
Primrose
Polyanthus
Viola
Brompton stock
A rather sad looking rose
An even sadder looking rudbeckia.

In the greenhouse (heated, but dropping to 30deg C regularly since the
cold weather started)

Butterwort
Scented pelargonium
Ordinary pink pelargonium
Jasmine - the indoor pinky white scented one
Linaria
Kleinia articulata
Mammillaria spinossissima
Mammillaria schiediana
