Short break between storms here, so able to take a few photographs. Iris unguicularis has its first flowers of the winter; Helleborus x sternii 'Beatrice le Blanc Strain'; and Helleborus x ballardiae 'Shooting Star'

Yesterday was a much better day than New Year's Day so I ventured out to see what was in flower or looking reasonable.  Nothing very exciting but still colourful on a winters day.

I am delighted to see all these fine flowers - nothing like that in our garden here...... just some snowdrops, winter jasmine and the very first beginnings from the Hamamelis - a very slow start compared to so many of you.

All beautiful and especially welcome at this time of year 8)

Wim, are 'Dance On' & 'Early Morning Light' Alan McMurtie hybrids?  I haven't seen either before but like 'Dance On' especially.
Apart from 'C. adjaricum' which is usually first here, most of my coums are behind yours.

Gosh Wim, your eranthis are way ahead of mine, I think the first is just shouldering its way through the mulch!

Ashley, they are McMurtrie hybrids indeed and they are both always very early! We're having very mild weather over here for the moment so the C. coum are flowering quite early.

Most other Eranthis are just showing over here too, this one I got only last year and it seems to have some adjusting to do  ;)
