WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JANUARY 2014

Sarcococca - highly scented


Geranium - in the greenhouse



Hamamelis (just starting to flower) - Witch Hazel - also scented



Helleborus Corsicus - splattered by mud because of the rain



forgotten - outdoors hanging basket plant



Schizostylis (lily family)

 

Camelia - coming into bud



We have lots snowdrops coming out but these are the first of the doubles



Yum Yum, soon be ready



Don't know whether this passion flower will open


Winter flowering honeysuckle - highly scented



Bacopa Still flowering in one of our pots

 

Thanks, Fern

We have a lot of Sarcococca and they can grow quite big. Just a tiny sprig in a vase will fill a room with its scent.

 

Antirrhinum still hanging on - self seeded in the patio



Pink Heather




White Heather



Euphorbia Mellifera - flowers smell of honey (hence the name)



another euphorbia



Hebe pink elephant - but doesn't grow that big

 

Our heavily pruned willow is waiting for spring before it bursts back into life



Some different snowdrops growing through the hardy maidenhair fern



Luzula (Sedge)



Katsura (maple) catching the setting sun




The hellebores are starting to make a good showing



And Hellebore foetidus is spreading like mad

 

Great pics, Shiney, just shows what can be in colour at this time of year.

 

The Snowdrops are slowing in flowering......but they're coming!!

 

When it comes to colour in the garden in the Winter I count everything!! And this bit of colour was down by the pond on some logs I've stacked there as shelter for any Wildlife.














Does anyone know what kind of Fungus it is???

 

Thanks longk The shots were taken hand held in natural [dull] light and after rain during the night but the camera and lens [one a 90mm F2.8 Tamron macro and the other a Pentax 50MM f4 macro] got the natural colours spot on.
