Luvachicken Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I've seen other oddly timed flowers, usually as photos, on the local weather. When I went out to the car a couple of days ago I spotted a fully open daffodil and was quite shocked to see it. This is the first time I have had one flower now. My primroses have had a few flowers all Summer too. Funny things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Its this strange weather; very warm I know there are are snowdrops up in Brighton, which is just plain wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 We have daffs flowering all over the garden and our cherry is covered in blossom and bees! It could be a Winter flowering cherry My mum has one that is covered too - mind you it does normally flower a bit later, more January/February.

mullethunter Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ah - didn't realise there was such a thing Thanks luvachicken I'll see if I can find out from previous owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 there is one of the winter cherries that flowers this time of year. one of the former priests at the Parish church planted one in memorial of her late husband and it flowers from about the end of November to about now give or take it's not as showy as a spring flowering one but it flowers a bit longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yes - I've seen some odd daffs in flower on the main road to Reading. Looks so weird I wondered if someone had stuck plastic ones in the grass! Will have a closer look tomorrow - not really the done thing while driving round a roundabout! My mum has brought her quamash bulbs in as they are about to flower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 I have another daffodil in flower right next to the first one. I just hope all my little tete -a - tete wait until Spring. Imagine a Spring with no daffodils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I've had snowdrops blossoming in the front garden for the past two weeks - normally this variety blossoms in mid to late January. So one month early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Had a closer look today and they are little multi-headed narcissi. There's a few more on the A30 as you go into Hook from Hartley Wintney. And I took a photo while OH pulled over! Will download it this evening.

Luvachicken Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I can see some tete - a- tete leaves but nothing else thank goodness. I do have lots of snowdrops but they haven't made an appearance yet Also saw the tips of crocus leaves. I have a patio rose about to flower 3 buds too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnie&Moose Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 We've got primroses and cowslips flowering, a hazel tree with leaf buds opening, and a fuscia that's just produced another crop of leaves having been a dead-looking stick for the last month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 My snowdrops are peeping through and the crocuses should be if the mice have not eaten them again!. The Xmas roses are so nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 My hebe (which is massive) still has a single little flower and half of my fuschias haven't dropped their leaves. I've got flowering primroses too. All very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Snowdrops are opening up fast and I have a violet! Didn't look to see if there are any more. Roses still blooming nicely - mainly the yellow ones. And my perennial wallflower is a mass of purple even now! Penstemons still have flowers too.

Luvachicken Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Slight change of subject - I had to cook our Boxing Day dinner with the back door open because it was so warm Never had to do that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 We have a dafodil flower in our garden which has been there since at least 27th December and there is a whole drift of them on the verge by the main road about half a mile away. We still have roses albeit soggy ones and geraniums with flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It's crazy isn't it! Went for our last walk of the year - while the sun was out - and in Alresford on 31st of December we found these along the road - loads and loads along an avenue of trees. Lots to still flower (and these were nicely sheltered and I was able to photograph them without the wind blowing them sideways). Primroses also were out but I didn't snap those! Waiting for the bluebells now! Plus some campion? The pink is darker in reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just seen quite a few daffodils on the way into Aldershot today and at Hartley Wintney yesterday. Also my Daphne has sprouted its new Spring leaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just spotted a couple of crocus flowering yesterday and one wallflower - yellow. Today I spotted a little clump of tete a tete flowering. My snowdrops look lovely although a local cat has used my snowdrop bed as a litter tray, and something has nibbled all the flowers buds off one bunch of my snowdrops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have one crocus out - I think the mice ate the rest! - and I have a miniature iris almost out and snowdrops showing white ready to open and today we have snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
