Roses, lavatera, an alpine has sprung into bloom. Clematis budding. What on earth is going on?

Wow thats beautiful

So far I can see in your display - Roses (several species) - Daffodil - Varigated Periwinkle - Japanese Quince - Viburnham botenese 'Dawn' and another Viburnham?

Is that Sarcococca (Winter Box) I can see? possible a Camelia ?

Garrya Elliptica (Silk Tassel Bush) Envy-Envy all ways wanted one of those...

What are the small creamy-yellow flowers?

And is that the leaves from one of the Daphne's.

And wild Strawberry plant in the centre???

I still have Roses a bit battered now but thats about all.

You must have a wonderful flower arrangers garden, maybe in the spring/summer/autumn/winter you could post a piccy so we can all see the beauty.

Darkbrowneggs that is so beautiful a real picture, far better than any shop bought bouquet you could ever buy. I'm soo jealous, really need to get planting in our garden.

We are supposed to have propper winter here....central european weather. Its the first non-white christmas in ages, the animals are a bit confused, but I've not seen too many out of season flowers yet. The forsythia I pruned and brought in did develop flowers in time for christmas and I have a few stray penstemons left over but no spring bulbs yet...thank goodness because I'm sure it will get cold soon. Jan usually only has the odd day above minus four....but were on plus one today!

Darkbrowneggs inspired me to go search in the garden for what I could find. Not quite such a beautiful array but I was so pleased with what I did find. Thanks for the inspiration.
