A few have started to flower :-)

Lonicera x purpusii ‘Winter Beauty’

This is a favourite as the tiny flowers have a strong fragrance all winter.

Prunus × subhirtella ’Autumnalis
The tree has lots of buds this year.

Hamamelis mollis

Coronilla valentina subsp. glauca ‘Citrina’
A must have.

Clematis Freckles

Pittosporum Coxhill Gold

Magnolia stellata buds and a bit of lichen

Prunus ’Princess Sturdza

Hi Bloomer, I hope you're OK.

Lovely to see so much winter colour Dawn. I love that Prunus and am thrilled to see blossom on mine too in only its second year 🙂

That's great Sheila, mine has been hit and miss over the years, I wonder if sometimes it gets frosted but then again weve had frosts. You're is doing really well.

Thanks Hywel, Wildrose.
Hywel the Lonicera in photo one comes highly recommended, it stays small and covered in tiny white fragrant flowers all winter.

What a lovely display of winter flowering shrubs you have, Dawn! I especially like the Coronilla I think I could accommodate one on our balcony!

Wishing you a Happy Christmas & New Year 2020! :)

Love pics Dawn, it’s great to see so many plants blooming in midwinter isn’t it! It really brightens up the gloom in the colder months!
