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

Mine was Camellias.. i was so happy to see it!

Daffodils, crocuses, forget me nots - and a marigold has had flowers all through the winter!

Cath9 This photo is for you re your message, I couldn't see a way to post it on the private message reply. It's my Daphne Odora and is about 10 yrs old. It's compact, slow growing, the flowers are small but the scent is heavenly. I really hope you won't have to wait seven years for flowers .

what a great list, thank you all so much. im going to take a look at all the plants mentioned and see whats available online.
l picked a little posy of yellow primroses and white snowdrops this morning to put on my bedside table, l love flowers from the garden that l can pick for my bedside table. Im so looking forward to Spring ,my husband planted dozens of scented hyacinths, and scented daffodils.. just out side my bedroom french windows so l can see them. As i'm bedbound a lot , the french windows was the first thing we had put in 6 yrs ago when we moved. He moved the bed last year so l can now see right up to the top of garden. l love the English seasons , l would not want to live anywhere else where there seasons never change.

Primroses, self seeded pansies and a red camellia.

Hellebores and snowdrops peeping .gives hope.

Hellebore just opening, crocuses and daffodils showing g their leaves.
Sarcococus smelling divine.

Only snowdrops, but they're lovely.

Do people who grow witch hazel use it for anything, or is it purely decorative, please?

I know you said no shrubs but if you have room for a pot a Daphne Odora has small pink flowers and a wonderful heady scent, it's a real delight in winter.

I still have roses in flower. Unheard of at this time of year when I was young !

Single Snowdrops are out (double flowered ones are in bud and will be out in a couple of weeks), Daffodils, wild primroses, cowslips, Hellebores - some with white flowers and a clump with masses of very attractive pink flowers - these are self sown seedlings, so somewhere nearby someone must have, probably, a purple one and the bees have been busy, one lone cyclamen coum, but there will be more soon, lesser celandines, violets and a dandelion

Witch Hazel,mine is covered with small yellow flowers with a burgundy centre,it’s a bush,very fast growing,very satisfying for January flowers for ages.

I think that the frost might cause it .
If the ground is frozen - not much moisture is able to get into the plant .
I've given mine some tepid water .

If your camellia is on the side of the garden where the morning sun hits you are unlikely to have flowers that survive.

Re Camellias dropping buds - check your watering, especially in Autumn. Apparently, poor watering, especially in Autumn, causes the buds to drop in Spring. I have potted mini Iris and also wallflowers out.

Well, there should be snowdrops but they are still not out here this year - and that's it as far as January and most of February goes, although the winter aconite should be out soon.

Snowdrops, daffodils in flower, crocus and tulip opening buds.

I haven't been in my flat for long enough to know what flowers bloom in the strip of garden out front, but I see that clumps of snowflakes (big brothers to snowdrops but not the same family) are coming out earlier than I expected. Now will be the time to start replenishing my hanging basket.

Some crocuses have appeared since Tuesday

Crocus and snowdrops

And Mahonia! 😎

Crocus and snowdrops (Lancs.) 😎👍

I love my Hellebores and what is really wonderful about them - they self hybridise or are very easy to hybridise !

Yes I have hellebores in flower… they’re great for this time of year, last a long time in the garden and can be cut for the house when the flower starts to mature
