Nerines Hello Sacha: If possible, would you kindly let us know which species of Nerine are blooming in your garden. Thank you, Mark Nerine bowdenii. I've forgotten a few other things that are in flower, too. Among them are Clematis napaulensis, Coronilla glauca, Euryops. Can't remember all the others but Ray has counted 31 things this morning. (Boxing Day). Many of the Fuchsias are flowering and the Amecia zygomeris is trying to put on new buds, though they'll quite probably be cut down completely by frost later. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the 'x' to email me) |

The message
from Jaques d'Alltrades contains these words: I'll tell you tomorrow - it's dark outside, thobut I can report a cascade of winter jasmine. And I should have remembered the winter-flowering verbena. Mahonia is just beginning to burst, and there are winter aconites and some violas. That would seem to be all. Even the snowdrops haven't raised buds yet. -- Rusty Hinge http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm Dark thoughts about the Wumpus concerto played with piano, iron bar and two sledge hammers.

Most surprising of all is fascicularia bicolor which unexpectedly came into flower while we were on holiday last week. Each rosette of spikey grey leaves has a centre of bright scarlet leaves; in the middle of the scarlet is a flat blue flower head 2" across, with gold bits. It looks like an artificial Christmas decoration :-) The plant in flower is roughing it out in the (sodden) garden beside a sheltering rock; one which I cosset in a large pot under the porch in a sunny dry frost free place has no flowers or scarlet leaves. A pot of phormium seeds is germinating in the cold frame, and montbretia and watsonias in the garden are putting up new leaves..it might be Spring, folks. Janet. |

The rosemary bush has been in flower for a month, penstemons still going strong, fuchias escaped the frost so far, geraniums under the front window are putting up new flower buds and I picked a ripe lemon from my lemon bush on Christmas eve! Ann Medway in Kent |

Other than than, there are no buds on the Snowdrops, Viburnum bodnantense 'Dawn' is still in bud along with Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis and Hammemellis mollis. Cyclamen coum is flowering in the polytunnel only. BTW does anyone grow these (supposedly) winter flowering wallflowers? Mine have been in the polytunnel since September (bought as plugs from Gardening Direct) and are just thinking of coming into flower now.

I also noticed the first flowers on the helebores are out. happy christmas all :~) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
