I have geraniums too and fushia. Daisies in the grass and
others I can't remember. Lots of daffs in bud ready to bloom also :-) ....very spring like weather today.

Apart from my usual winter hardy plants (fuschia, pansies, etc) I have a pelargonium (geranium) in flower, a gazania in a pot with 2 buds.

There are a few things in the garden that I can't remember the names of and they're still flowering and should normally be dormant. It's freaky.

There's a tree near by which has pink blossom...............and no leaves :-S

The next time I speak to the owner, I'll have to ask what it is

I've got freesias flowering in a pot on my patio....must like all this rain! :-)

Well much to the dismay of my OH he's horrified to find the grass is growing lol! also got a Dandelion. Hope the cold's not going to do much damage to the early plants got loads of self-seeding plantlets in pots and they look so healthy (haven't a clue what they are they came from summer plants) so fingers crossed they survive may put them in garage.
Gwyn I love violets

I noticed violets in a nearby garden on Wednesday.
There are loads of roses in bloom around here as they have been continually since summer.
Next door's grass has a couple of dandelions in flower and we've got daisies.

In the week leading up to Christmas, I was delivering some local cards and noticed snowdrops in one garden on my route.
I think they must be an early flowering variety, as they're always the first ones to bloom near here.
Bulbs locally now have shoots about 4 or 5 inches tall in many gardens, so I hope they cope with any cold spells.

I think because of the weather the plants think it is spring. It is supposed to be getting colder so they are in for a shock.

Funny it really must be quite warm it's an illusion we are having that it's cold I think :-D

My standard fuschia still has lots of flowers! :-D

Waking round the front garden today I found 2 beautiful roses, 1 yellow Poppy , 1 red summer flower loads of Chinese Lanterns (I think that's what they are called) Pansies and Primroses of course 1 wee pink daisy thing so do you think the garden's still waiting for winter .... Oh and the Daffs and Snowdrops are popping up ...... Still lovely to see. Anyone else got out of Season flowers growing? :-)
