What's Looking Good In January 2022

@Logan, your Polyanthus must be very happy in your garden to be flowering so early. Mine are still just leaves. None of my bulbs are anywhere near flowering, but there are a lot of their green shoots and I see more and more green shoots every day. Strange how a few snowdrops and crocuses can make me feel so happy.

 

Thank you @groundbeetle some of them do start early and I planted nearly all of them in autumn.

 

My wife had some geraniums in tubs and once they were past their first flush she was going to dump them. I grabbed them for my patch and they happily flowered for a good deal longer.
We cut them back at the beginning of November and now the first of them has started to bloom again. In January!

 

Hesperantha hybrid grown from seed many years ago. Flowers sporadically throughout the year.

 

Some cuttings that I taken last year
Trailing fuchsias don't look much at the moment.

Trailing geraniums got to be potted on

Fleebane that I put in the hanging baskets with the fuchsias and geraniums. There's 4 in each because some won't make it

 

Cuttings are looking great @Logan

 

Thank you @Michael Hewett

 

Just a few bright sparks that I came across this afternoon doing their best to brighten up a dreary Winter garden.

 

That is lovely and colourful Upsy ... ans I see what you mean about damp out there ob the path!

 

Thanks Vicky. Yes by looking at the pics you'd think that we had rain wouldn't you!!
Horrible, horrible!!!

 

I just noticed that my snowdrop shoots have flower buds on them. Lots of bulbs have shoots but no flowers, even the freesia bulbs that I planted last autumn have lots of shoots, though no flowers yet, I wasn't expecting them to even grow.

 

Amazed by your leucodendron @stephenprudence ! I keep mine in a greenhouse.
In flower at the moment:
Galanthus Trumps

Acacia baileyana

Grevillea semperflorens in front of Kniphofia Christmas Cheer

In the greenhouse - protea White Knight

 

By the garden gate
First Camellia and the sweet box underneath.The perfume from the Sarcocca is wonderful....[

 

Not a good picture, but the Cape Leeuwin wattle is still flowering despite the slight frosts we have had.


Still picking some Clementines.
