What's still flowering in your garden
« on: November 19, 2011, 07:12:13 pm »
I still have a red lupin, two beautifull heads of pink/white floribunda roses  and a pink rockery geranium flowering.

I've also seen some tulip leaves coming up... ???

English marigolds (Calendula) have been wonderful and keep going.
The primroses in the boxes by the door have started flowering again  :D As has the winter jasmine.
I'm at 1000ft in Cumbria -  where you  :)

We are a bit windswept 120 mtrs above sea level 9 miles in from the coast  but with light scrub woodland to the north & hills two and a hlaf  miles beyond , Caerbryn  hill immediately to the West , another hill set called the Brecon Beacons seven miles or so  to the east and Bettws mountain five miles to the South .
We are on what is known as rim of the Amman valley .

 In our garden late July planted flowers that managed to become established are blooming .
They are :-

Galddoli to four feet tall , Dhalia threee types each about two feet tall , Begonia with slightly browned tops but a few emerging flowers .
 Freshia and several others whose names I've forgotten , but they are all  from bulbs or corms .
 
Elsewhere are two different types of deep red fuchia ,one a dwarf and one that will hopefully go to at least four feet hight and five across.

Hi,


   I'm in east yorkshire at the foot of the yorkshire wolds. this area was once sea bed so has a very light sandy soil. allways hungry and thirsty but warms up quickly in spring and is great for growing veg and weeding!

  A very slight frost a couple of weeks ago polished off my everlasting cosmos and marigolds which I grew from seed. I have a few training gerainiums left in flower on the muck heap as I heve cleared out all my pots and filled them with spring flowering bulbs.

Winter solstice is a month away cant wait for the days to start lengthening again :D

Veg patch is the focus of my attention today  :farmer:

wish me luck!

I'm in awe  :D My bulbs get put into pots when they've started sprouting in their bags  ::)
Have fun with the vegetable garden today  :)

We're in suffolk and I still have roses blooming well in the garden, and picked another harvest of lovely red tomato's out of the greenhouse this week, I thought they should have died and been pulled out weeks ago. :yum:
So many ideas, not enough hours

West Cornwall:
Jasmine, azalea, roses, fuschia, campion, blackberry, daisies, hyacinths..... and those are the ones I recognize! To my inexperienced eyes it looks like the camelias are starting to bud as well

gorse :) lots of it.
but I spose thats not unusual.

That said I have seen loads of trees looking like they are starting to bud again - you can tell the weather has been mild for sure.

I've seen a few things flowering - but I dont know any of their names - will have to make a point of learning them.

The gladiolia's have finally succummed to a couple of sharp frosts , both fuchias are still in flowerr  and my supposedly non bolting  broccoli has sprung into flower like an Easter brides bouquet  cos ther's more yellow than green .
The caulies have flowered making them " Cauliflowers "  ;) but they are still only a couple of inches across . I bent the headder leaves over them yesterday to see if I can get them to develop bigger & still have white tight heads.
