Happy New Year!

Here we are then - 2013 starts with a lovely sunny day, if a little chilly in the breeze! There are flowers out already (or should that be "still"?) to welcome the gardener into the new growing season.

Narcissus 'Cedric Morris' has been out since the end of November but is normally a December and January flowerer here.  Unfortunately slow to bulk up and tends to be a tad expensive too.

Other flowers in my garden or on the nursery today are  Hamamelis mollis, Sarcococca ruscifolia  and Lonicera x purpusii 'Winter Beauty'.  I haven't had the chance to look but I expect there are Cyclamen and Snowdrops too.... think I need to plant more of both!
