Hellebores are coming now, and I still have a primula in flower. Freckles is still going strong too. There's still lots of colour in the garden from my evergreens though, and the berries on the cotoneaster are stunning.

right, go easy on me because I'm not as practised as you guys and I've inherited a garden so not sure what is what. But, (I think) I have a bloody cranesbill in flower. I have new sedum coming out of the ground - must say it looks very pretty, I have lots of snowdrops coming up (I think they are snowdrops), some of my new spring bulbs in pots are starting to poke through. I have a pale yellow primrose in flower (just the one ) I have a little bush with the brightest purple berries you have ever seen and I have lots of catkins on my corkscrew hazel - does that count as flowering? Oh, I also have lots of different types of hollies full of berries. I also have lots of something come up, with no flowers yet just leaves (usually just two leaves), about 8 inches long, have no idea what they are but they are all over the place. My cherry and lilac trees all have buds.

As of this morning, there was still a rose 'Golden Wedding' (yellow) in flower, but I don't have any photographic evidence.
I've not been out into the garden for a few days as I've had a bad cold but certainly up to last weekend the ceanothus was still flowering on the south facing wall.

Rosefan Is it summer? Not quite, but it's not quite winter either. If anything it is like a perpetual late autumn at the moment, without the frosts. As for Abraham Darby, he's due for a 'haircut' soon, so hopefully the blooms will have faded by then.

Went to Kew yesterday morning (very virtuous - we were there before the gates opened) and whilst there are a fair number of obvious things in flowere e.g. Hamamelis, the more noticeable were an Abutilon in full flower on a sunny wall, an Iris and a species Narcissus on the rock garden.

I've got Kaffir Lily still in flower. Also, clematis freckles, primula, and fuchsias. My snowdrops, alpine narcissi and outdoor hyacinths are also trying to come up too.
Although this isn't a flower, the remainder of my late sown lettuce "lollo rosso" is still growing too!!

I have a winter flowering honeysuckle (lonicera fragrantissima) just coming in flower. They have fairly small, white/yellow flowers that have an incredibly sweet scent which is very similar to freesias
