Does the garden know it's January !

Hi Rose ..
Your garden is looking fab..
... so much in flower...
I love the fuchsia :o) x

Wow, Rose - that's quite spectacular!

Amazing!
The garden must love you, Rose.

You must live in such a lovely sheltered spot Rose. To have fuschias and roses in flower in January is wonderful but the fact that they look so good is truly amazing - the leaves on the rose look so fresh and healthy!!

The sky in the final picture is gorgeous.

It's been very mild. I wish every winter was like this. Your plants are doing well. It's nice to see flowers on so many of them in the winter.

Its a joy to see your lovely flowers in January. I too wonder if the plants can keep up this high output right through their normal flowering periods.

It is quite strange isn't it seeing colour in the gardens like this in January. Strange weather. Happy gardeners though, little bits of sunshine, rain and NO SNOW. Yay!!! Looks brilliant still Rose. Great to see. :O))))

Thank you Terra and Mel. I can't believe these fuschias, and originally, I wasn't keen on them and now, thanks to Hywel, I love them ! Mel, I'm sure your garden is spectacular too !
Thanks Mouldy , I certainly love the garden ! It must know it and is rewarding me ! Hahaa!
Now ...is it Mouldy or Laithe, because I could have sworn I saw you on another blog under Laithe ! You haven't got a twin, have you ! Hahaa!
Thank you Chris for those kind words ! Did you notice the different shapes in the window in the sunset picture, because Rick and I can't figure out what some of them are! Also , at the bottom of the avenue, on the other side of the road is a garage, but this garage is behind the tall hedge, not in front of it ! Isn't that weird ! Its actually in another street !
Thanks Hywel. Wouldn't it be great if all winters were like this one and all summers like the last one ! lol
Thanks Scotgran. If we get another good summer, maybe the flowers in the garden will just keep on going ! Well, you never know !
Thank you Barbara. Definitely don't want any snow, sleet, frost or cold winds ! Do you think I'm asking too much ! Hahaa!

No, I haven't got a twin, Rose, but my triplet has two. ;-)
Call me Mouldy or Laithe, whichever you prefer.

Just lovely Rose..unbelievable really,as I've never remembered it like this before..It would be great if they all survive..good luck :o) x

Hahaa Mouldy ! I'll have to think about this !
Thanks Sandra. I think that we could have a late winter and then , of course, they would all go ! x

Sadly, I tend to agree with you, Rose.
I hope not, though :-(

You have a wonderful assortment of colour in your January garden Rose ... I too have Fuchsia 'Lady Boothby' in bloom ... very weird! No rain today, that makes a change, so I got down and dirty in the garden, Buddleia have leaves coming, Forsythia is in bud, Hellebores and Cyclamen, Crocus, Snowdrops and Daffs all poking through ... :o)

Hello again Mouldy ! I'm a bit lost ! What are you agreeing with me about ! Oh dear...I must be having early senile moments ! Hahaa!
Thank you Shirley . It is weird , isn't it ! According to the Garden News weather forecaster, and don't want to depress you, but he actually said not to holiday in Britain before October ! ! ! WHAT ! How does he know that ! Apparently its to be a wet summer ! I'm just pleased we are off away again in June, so that I get get my bit of sun !

About the late winter, Rose.
I have grey moments, too. Lol.

You're not old enough to have these moments Mouldy ! Lol.

Fifty-five...older, but no wiser. Lol.
Oh, you'd be surprised how many grey moments I have every day, Rose.

There's hope for me yet then Mouldy ! lol

LOL!
I usually end up traipsing up and down the stairs several times a day, beause I forgot and left something in the flat.
The neighbours must think I'm deranged with all the laughing to/at myself! :-D
