What’s flowering in your garden?

[Koulibiak]

I’ll start 😊

my Dutch lasagne pots are beginning to look interesting. I’ve got 3 types of crocuses, and Iris reticulata frozen planet. All are a bit ahead of schedule, but I’m in London and they’re in a warm spot.

The irises are especially pretty, a very pale blue and delicate.

Snowdrops, and a winter clematis.

I had a picture of iris reticulata on my "this day last year" but had look and nothing there atm.

Mahonia x media 'Winter Sun'
Snowdrops
Various heather

We are SE,UK

Snowdrops, winter aconites, mahonia, catkins on the hazel ( they are flowers botanically I believe.)

Snowdrops
Mahonia x 2
Hellebores
Daphne
Sarcocca (dull as ditchwater to look at but the scent is truly wonderful)

In my greenhouse last summer’s Bidens are still flowering and some of the pelargoniums are popping out the odd flower too.

So far this year:
Winter honeysuckle
Yellow stocks
Witch hazel
Nemophilia
Crocuses
Primroses
Violets
And today the sarcococca came out.

Cyclamen, daffodils and the Camellia has just started!

SW England.

I don't know what they are called but the flowers in our tubs never died off this year, even in the snow and frost. We are in North Yorkshire.

One of my David Austen roses - Molineax - hasn't stopped flowering all winter! Neither have some of the strawberries, bizarrely.

Daffodils have just started; rosemary is flowering; hellebores; sarracococa; cyclamen; & primrose.

Absolutely nothing!

I live in Scotland!

nothing in Tyneside either!

Snowdrops, pulmonaria, hellebores, primroses, sarcococca. A few daffodils are in bud but not flowering yet. Also in Scotland.

Garden down the road has a rhododendron flowering!

I'm a pretty avid gardener but what is a Dutch lasagne?

Hellebore and snowdrops just so far.

But my hollyhock seeds have started germinating which Im excited about as so far my sweet peas havent, and it's my 2nd sowing of them!

The usual winter flowers:
Cornus mas
Viburnum bodnantense
winter flowering cherry
a winter flowering honeysuckle
Cyclamen coum
heather
winter jasmine
witch hazel (Hamamelis)
hellebores

Osteospermums stopped flowering when we had the cold snap after the snow, but are are now absolutely covered with buds

Sorry meant to say East Midlands

Rosemary and a pink flowered shrub that someone gave me but didn't know the name of. I wonder if I take a photograph of it tomorrow someone on this thread would see if they can identify it? There are also some rather bedraggled Cyclamen flowering in a hanging basket.

Edited to add that I'm in the West Midlands.

It’s just a fancy name for a pot where you layer lots of different bulbs, starting with the ones that will flower last. So you could have a bottom layer of say, allium, then tulips, daffs and crocuses, all layered so they flower in succession for a few months.

Daffodils
A bush that I have no idea what it it is but has little white flowers and smells amazing. I am not a gardener! There were bees in it yesterday which I thought was odd.

Buff tailed bumble bees are active at this time of year. Bumble bees with a fawn coloured rear end - maybe those were the bees you saw.

Nothing in Central Scotland,but the first crocuses won't be long now.

Largest and latest flowering at the bottom, smallest at the top. As a rule of thumb, bulbs like to be planted at a depth that is 3 times the diameter f the bulb, so you don’t want to stick crocuses at the bottom, even if they’re a late flowering variety, or daffodils at tge top, even if they’re “February Gold”.

@MissMarplesNiece Probably Viburnun bodnantense or a Daphne, but yes please, let’s see a photo!

@boulevardofbrokendreamss My guess would be Sarcococca but Viburnum or Daphne are possible. Photo?

Daphne have 4 petals and are evergreen, Viburnum have 5 petals, bodnantense loses its leaves in winter, tinus doesn’t, Sarcococca has little tufty flowers.

Hellebores
Hellebores
Hellebores.
They're pretty but they are also invasive little fuckers

Ooh,I'm jealous,,! Hellibores, primroses, polyanthus, cyclamen. Sarcacoca ,isn't quite out yet,winter pansies,A rose "blue by you". If you asked in a week! I gave up on bulb lasagne because you've got to leave the daffodil foliage for 6 weeks and it looked so scruffy.
