So, let me get this right, we are planning a photo of a flower each day - in December!!
As PP said in a different thread timing is everything. I've counted and I have perhaps 4 flowering things out ATM not sure where I'll go after Dec 4th.......... rinse and repeat maybe.

WRONG!!!! ^^^^^
Its All the flowers on the 1st day of the month - so 1st Dec, 1st Jan etc.
If you miss the 1st day, do it on the 2nd.
Are these words short enough for you to understand, Jen.

It’s sleeting it down just now but I do have Marigolds in my GH.

CAN YOU TYPE A LITTLE LOUDER I'm hard of reading
DUH,! saw the post where you mentioned a flower day and thought that to be what you were getting us to do. First of the month I can do. Although it's a shame the sun has disappeared before I can get out.

A list of all the flowers I can find out at the moment. I've taken photos if you want them but I thought you might be bored. It's quite amazing what you find when you start looking.
Pansy
Primrose/Polyanthus
Choisya
Aubretia just one or two single flowers
Arabis
Winter jasmine
Pinks
Sedum, just one tatty flower
Gazanias, several rather weatherbeaten blooms

I have...
polyanthus
one hollyhock flower
sweet rocket, just a few flowers on one stem
cupids dart
I was going to add hardy fuchsia, but though the flowers are hanging on, after the snow and frost they are mostly tinged brown
rose in bud

I could find a couple: a rambling rose and some heather.

I could do with taking some cuttings of the heather but not sure when the best time is or how big they should be.

Sprinting (slowly) round the garden before the rains retuned this morning I saw -
calendula
rose mermaid
geranium sanguinium
gaura
borage
rosemary *
winter honeysuckle *
bolted broccoli
blue honeywort
love in the mist
cosmos - well, it had petals, I'm not sure you'd really call it flowering!
primrose *
coreopsis
Plus various thistles, dandelions and friends.
Only the typical winter ones * looked happy, plus the marigolds, and for the rest, their days are probably numbered!
