It'll be foggy this Christmas....
I've seen the first forecast for Christmas Day. Foggy, max 0C, min -1C. Not pleasant. Staying in with hubby and daughters in front of a roaring fire seems like a great plan.In the 10 mins of half-hearted daylight that broke through the murk today I took a couple of pictures. Yes, that's Rosa 'The Times' still offering up late flowers. It will take a break until May then start again. Knautia macedonia also doesn't know when to stop. The Corsican hellebores are flowering right on cue, but I thought the Hamamellis would be breaking bud by now, and it isn't. Perhaps it needs a spell of cold weather to trigger it. Well, it will get that in the next 5 days.
The Times, still going on the shortest day.
Knautia macedonia. I'm going to leave it alone all winter, just to see what it takes to stop it flowering.
The Corsican hellebore, Helleborus argutifolius just starting its winter-long flowering spree.
