Very Strange.....

Very strange :o)

Strange but lovely...like a ray of sunshine :)

isnt it just TT...
Yes whistonlass... it was lovely to find... : O ))

Quite strange that it has obviously been in hibernation just waiting for the sun to shine.

yes.. it certainly chose the right day to come out.. : O ))

lovely! My Rudbeckia has also survived in the greenhouse over winter. Its just starting to grow now....I'm pleased as it was a really great flower. Very strange that is has pushed up this flower, but nice for you!

Thanks Karensusan... glad yours has survived as well... this little flower couldnt wait any longer ... : O ))

Do you take your Rubeckia in in the Winter Karen or were they just young plants?

very good - we have the leaves but not the flowers - that is weird but very cool

very strange holly but a nice surprise

Eager for the sun? not seen that before Holly..

I love it when things just pop up like that, you never know what you might find next.

well done to that tough little flower! and thank you to it as well ~ for cheering us all up!!

Linda, I got one for the first time last year, Prairie Sun. I loved it and read that it was best to treat them as annuals as they are not hardy. So I decided to try leaving it in the pot but putting it in the greenhouse. It has worked! Great!

It's nice to see something out of season. I do like rudbeckias aswell. I hope we don't get bad weather to spoil your first flower now :)

Brave little flower, Holly, I hope you didn't get the hard frosts we had here this morning.

Thanks everyone.... I have these in a pot and keep them on the patio, i put lots of compost on them in the autumn.. and they come back every year.....
Hope the weather will stay good now Hywel...
No we didnt have a frost today gee have had a little bit of frost over the las tfew days but nothing much.....

How amazing, do you think you should cut this flower off so the plant gains strength for when it really flowers!??

Think i will leave it grandmage... as it wont last very long now...
