          Polyanthus/primrose growing in-between the slabs on the patio. It's been there for a few years now.

                The Doorstep Delight is starting to look nice, an eight-pack of Hellebores from Lidl for £9, five here and three in the back. :)

                  Lovely @Selleri , I have some out in bloom but all the white ones are still in bud. The white ones stand out so nicely, especially on grey winter days.:)

                    I'm glad I bought these yellow Violas as they are producing some spots of "sunshine" on an otherwise very sad looking balcony! Viola flowering on balcony railings 1st January 2024 001.jpg

                          The second picture looks like a Purple Allamanda. I had one years ago and have never seen one since.
