Well it's still a strange year.
Last year I planted 6 early varieties of daffs trying to get a variety
that would flower outdoors for Xmas, well this year we wont make Xmas
but Early January looks a possibility

The Tree dahlias are still flowering with a lot more in bud, so that's
Dahlia Imperialis

and Dahlia Tenuicaulis

Whilst the first Camellia flowers are open around 3 months earlier than
last season

Not to mention Blackberry flowers still out.
At this rate I could have a very strange mix in the New Year
How mixed up is your garden?

Looks as if you could be lucky with those daffs! I don't think I've got
any so advanced but, then, I haven't been buying early flowerers. I
need to do at lot of work on my garden in the year ahead then,
hopefully, I can buy lots of daffs for next spring.
As to oddities, I have a few flowers on my Pyracanthas and a couple of
droopy roses on Rosa 'The Fairy'.
