    I couldn't find a thread on the subject so i thought i'd start one.

    There are lots of plants flowering late, early, or even in their 2nd flowering as Mrs Resholts Campanula shows below. So i thought i'd start a thread where we can share our un-seasonal garden delights. Here goes with the Campanula in it's second flowering which is normally done by now if at all.

    And an American Prairie Cone Flower of some description planted this year in it's second flowering.

    Be good to see what others have got.

      I noticed two weeks ago I have a couple of daffodils sprouting in my lawn, at least six weeks early.

      See my post here.

      Also, up until about a week ago Impatiens niamniamensis was still blooming in the main bed..............

      The first decent frost got what was left of it (I had been slicing it up for cuttings).

      Well, we had a Winter of confusion last year when Spring flowering Shrubs and plants decided to attempt to flower 2 to 3 months early. Perhaps we're in for another session.:scratch::snork:

      I was working out in my front garden today and I'd like to confirm many of my daffodils are now above ground.......that's far to early. :scratch: The sign is now up asking callers to stay off the lawn. :)

        While out walking in the countryside today, I spotted a bramble flower.
