I'm jealous.
Flowering in my garden (v. quick inspection, and that was before the
snow)
Mahonia
Primulae
A few pansies (last 2 in pots)
A few big buds on Camelia (also in pot)
Er... that's it.

gardening...)

Perhaps it depends on where people live? *In the comparatively tropical SW
of the country there might be more to see on NYD than there is in other
locations.

You're being kind, I can tell ;-) There are plenty things that would
flower and thrive where I am if I had bothered with them. The fact is
that I am a fair weather very amateurish gardener, with only week ends
- and not all week ends - available to garden. In winter, my garden
goes into hibernation, and I get excited about it again in Spring...
often too late to have a really successful cabbage patch!
But hey, I get as much enjoyment out of it as I want, so I would not
complain.


*It's become a bit of a habit with us (and with friends in the
CIs) to have a garden wander and check up.
Today Ray pointed out to me an absolute charming and very understated
Clematis nepalensis flowering freely over a bit of the pergola. *Its flowers
are absolutely charming,

Very pretty!
