What flowers have you got open in the garden in January ?

If you’ve got room a Viburnum Diana is a beautiful shrub with clusters of pink flowers before the leaves develop. It also has a fantastic fragrance. I grow mine in a large planter, it can be pruned after flowering to keep it in check.

Re Hellebores, my hellebore argutifolius is flowering now, it is a segregated leaf variety and has a more upright structure with green/ white flowers. They are not cheap, but spread seedings freely.

I have Winter flowering yellow Jasmine, pink Hellebores, Snowdrops just peeping through.

The only hellebores I have flowering at present are Helleborus foetidus (stinking hellebore - but I’ve never noticed a smell). A lovely bright green, really shines out.

Loads of camellias, red, pink and white. One lot of snowdrops and several daffodils in bud.

primroses, hellebores, snowdrops, daffodils

I walk through the garden particularly on a still day and the whole garden is full of scent from the Christmas box and winter honeysuckle. Later -soon - they will be joined by the daphne.

The earliest flowers include snowdrops, iris uniguicularis (scented) and Helebore, soon to be joined by early daffs, iris lazica (for shade) and crocus.

Snowdrops, cowslips, aconites, primulas and witch hazel.Lots of hellebore leaves but no flowers or buds.

Primulas, white and deep purple helibores, acconites, yellow winter Jasmine, and an autumn flowering cherry tree. Daffodils in bud. Camelia in bud. From September to February I feed with liquid seaweed. Helps the flowers. The rest of the year, ericaceous feed.

Re feeding: Camelia.

Correction! Camellia. Typing whilst on the bus.

We have dwarf iris in bloom too.

Hellebores, Snowdrops, Viburnum Bodnantense ‘Dawn’, Mahonia.

Winter Sun mahonia is lovely, I’ve got some native primroses out on my bank, I prefer them to primulas. I’ve also got a clump of February Gold narcissi out, they are early this year - and strangely a purple heather that normally flowers in March is about to flower too.

We have 4 or 5 different hellebores, the masonic is fabulous as are the Batchelors Buttons. We has 2 daphnia that are about to flower and a winter box by the front door. We have a clematis, snowdrops and a very brave penstemon.

The rosemary is showing signs of flowering too.

My plants have gone to pot... pardon the pun.
I don't know if I'll restart anything this year.
Probably just some lovely tomatoes.

My large Camellia is full of buds about to open. No other blooms but lots of evergreens.

My Japanese quince is in a big pot and I trim it regularly so hasn't grown too large. It is just coming in to flower now - deep red blooms, yellow fruit in the Autumn.

Yellow jasmine, hellebores, bulbs poking through the soil, snowdrops, polyanthus all in flower. Lots of buds on the camellias too. Lifts your mood seeing them all once more.

My hellebores niger, also known as the Christmas rose, is also in flower in a very sheltered space in the front garden. I have snowdrops, primulas, cyclamen and winter flowering pansies too.
The other things I have in flower now are shrubs so outside your remit.
I'm in the East Midlands, UK

I forgot the orange and dark blue winter pansies.

Our snowdrops were in bloom - and still are - at the beginning of December

My prostrate rosemary is in flower, white quince, snowdrops, aconites, primroses, violas (in pots), clematis Jingle Bells and Sarcococca. Also hellebores but I don’t know the variety

Oh yes winter clematis “freckles” loved by bees - big bumbles.
