    On a particularly yukky grey and windy day I thought it would be nice to post some colour!

    I'm pretty sure that none of these ought to be flowering during this month but they are thanks to the crazy,mild weather we have had so far. I'm particularly impressed with the freesias which have now been in flower continuously since August!!!

    WOW you have so many flowers!! :eek: Everything in my garden is flattened by gale force winds and torrential rain. It's lovely to see that you have some blooms to share with us and cheer us all up.

    Lovely seeing all those blooms. I expect that we will get that same storm a bit later here in the low countries.
    It is so good to see what you have blooming at the moment.
    I was surprised to see some of those blooming.

    What a nice surprise this time of year. The only thing I have blooming is an Impatien that sits on the front porch.... and it doesn't look all that good.

    Beautiful colors.
    My garden is getting flatter with each sub-freezing night we have, used to have a lot of green but not so much now.

    So wonderful to see your colourful photos KM! The sun has just come out here today as well. Coincidence?

    Lovely blooms Karin,..i was delighted to see you have that Clematis,'Freckles',..isn't it a wonder to see it blooming just now,..my one is in full bloom today,..it surprised me as i didn't read up on it and presumed it would fade like other Clematis come winter,..its a little winner.

    I'm glad that you all like my 'colour' :D

    Frank:wouldn't that be a lovely coincidence!

    Philip,My 'Freckles' has never had so many flowers as it does at this moment in time. A couple of weeks ago I even saw a Buff-tailed Bumblebee making good use of it!! I've had flowers on it during virtually every season since it has been here.
