I've also got one early red Camelia just bursting open too. I hope it doesn't turn bitter cold towards the end of winter and kill these things.
I still have a little plant that seems to have been flowering forever, no idea what it is.
I bought myself a Hammamelis (witch hazel) for Christmas so hopefully that will be in flower soon. Been after one for ages but they're a bit expensive..
but what the heck !

Just seen my first snow drops but primroses have been blooming for a couple of weeks , bluebells and daffs well on their way. but I still have chrysanthemums blooming and I am worried that the bad weather we have on the way will kill them of compleatly.

Are they outside Bob, or in a greenhouse?

Re: Planning for next year
Remember I said the Council were refurbishing the broken/raised beds on the allotment, and offered to do mine and anyone else's? My friend told me yesterday that apparently the Salvation Army will be using the middle ones, (the broken concrete ones) and they hope to take them on at the end of March! She and another committee member met a chap showing the site from outside the gate to his little girl, and spoke to him.So what this means is...the works will be carried out soon! That means I can get stuff sown the summer.
We are led to believe they will be used by disabled and the needy. About time I had new neighbours. These beds have been out of use for a number of years.
