I've got busy lizzies, marigolds, tagetes, gazania, salvia, dahlia, Japanese anenome, begonia tuberous & fibrous, antirrhinum, penstemon, sedum, cyclamen, polyanthus,yellow buddleia and a couple of roses. Admittedly all are a bit confused by the weather, bedraggled and neglected. I may have a single tomato flower on a forgotten plant in the gh, does that count? Also a rather magnificent Christmas cactus indoors.

Spotted a clematis still in flower yesterday and Viburnum × bodnantense is flowering - difficult to spot as it was underneath an apple tree but has now escaped and spends most of its time flowering in the canopy.

December's flowers are few and far between here. Outdoors a couple of polyanthus, winter jasmine and a very sad and cold straggly antirrhinum. Indoors a Christmas cactus and P's phalaenopsis (rescued from the empty house nextdoor) has one flower on an old flower spike and two new flower spikes growing. It's making a special effort because he talks to it. Smile

Pansy
Lupin
Carnations
Fuchsia

Lupins & carnations really not happy with the frost. Unsurprisingly.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

Dahpne, Hellebores, Viburnum × bodnantense, and Sarcococca all highly scented.

And on a walk on Monday round the Peckforton Hills, there was plenty of gorse flowering.
Before Christmas, in the nearby village of Bunbury, there were daffodils flowering in the verges.
