I have to agree with that!

Salvia confertiflora has finally started to bloom here about four months late!#




First flower on Canarina canariensis..................

Mine flowered (but it was a bit brief) in September/ October, yet they are just starting on the Canaries in late February?

Well knock me down with a flying piglet, that looks like sunlight to me. Forgotten what it looks like - is it dangerous?

It does cause a severe shock to the system :lol:

I can barely believe how mild its been so a few pictures to end the 2015 round up, firstly under glass its the usual suspects.

I think the mild has helped the T grandifolia, often in the past it flowers later than urvilleana and the flowers don't always open properly

Its outside where you really start to notice the difference, its not that there has been a massive shift in seasons here, my daffs are not showing leaves yet never mind flowers and the Camellia St Ewe is early but only by 4 days, but the gig difference is in what has kept going
