Re: Spring Flowers

I too still have Roses in bloom and all the Spring bulbs are well advanced with good strong shoots on display, just hope we don't get any serious frosts, what a topsy turvy situation.

Re: Spring Flowers

Its amazing isn't it! I don't have any roses still out though. I've just had another look in the garden and the bluebells are about 5 inches high, but no sign of them flowering thank goodness.

It will be a shame when the frost comes as I'm sure it will do before too long.

Re: Spring Flowers

I`ve got lots of snowdrops out since Christmas day .Couple of roses out yet as well .

Re: Spring Flowers

We had a frost last night, not a white out but you could see it on the grass. I have an Azalea with large buds on and am sure it shouldnt have, what I worry about is the plants not having a rest in Winter, they would be worn out if they start coming into bloom so soon.

Re: Spring Flowers

My climbing hydrangea has new shoots, that are getting longer by the week. I have no daffs showing at all, just muscari. The lawn needs cutting
My rose too is still flowering but the bad winds blew all the petals off.
A white geranium, a climbing fuschia and some antirrhinums are flowering.
That's all that I can see from my window but I will have a proper mooch round tomorrow - it's going to be a weird winter and spring in the garden, if the temperature stays like it is.

Re: Spring Flowers

Snow drops are popping up in the garden which I would expect but I have a summer flowering Gazenia plant in a planter outdoor that still has flowers on it; now that I don't expect.
We have been lucky with a mild though windy winter so far but there is a way to go yet and I can remember on a few occasions it being cold with very heavy snow at the end of January.(just thought I would cheer you up)

Re: Spring Flowers

I have 5 planters with winter flowering pansies in 2 have died off the others are flowering lovely don't know what has happened to the 2 that died they are just limp I don't think it is because of A) over wet B) too dry... very strange...They are all located close to each other too....

Re: Spring Flowers

Maybe you were visited by neighbours cats!

Re: Spring Flowers

I Noticed today there are crocus flowering in a neighbours garden and their daffodils are 6inch high , no buds on those though.

Another neighbour has a Kerria Japonica in flower like this one..




...they usually flower in April/May..

Re: Spring Flowers

Meg, my next door neighbour has about a dozen crocus flowering in his front garden, and I actually measured my daffodils and they are 8 inch high-no buds on yet, but the way things are going don't think it will be long before they have!
