'twas New Year's Day

in the garden and there was a *very* poor show, compared to most years. This probably reflects the frosts we've had so far, much earlier than we normally get them. The not-very-vast number of things in flower was: Vinca oxyloba, Rosemarinus marenca, Mahonia bealei, Sarcococca confusa and S. hookeriana, Camella Takanini and C. sasanqua Narumigata, as well as the Camellia we think is 'Cherub'. The two latter are in full bloom. There is also Correa backhousiana, Cestrum parquii, Viburnum tinus, Lonicera purpusii, various Hellebores, Fuchsia excorticata in bud, Jasminum nudiflorum, and with buds just about ready to break, the fishtail Camellia Kingyoba-shiro-wabisuke. And as a bonus (?!) 3 large badger scrapes towards the bottom of the garden! I just went out to look. My garden is very small, but there's usually something. All I can find is the first Schizostylis flower showing colour. Or maybe it's the last. I had no flowers in the autumn. Lots of buds on one camellia, but the other one is DEAD; no buds, no leaves! My friend in Weymouth says she has bumble bees on the flowers on her lonicera fragrantissima. Mine has no flowers at all. Pam in Bristol |
