Amazed how many flowers are still out and even more surprised finding
spring flowers in the botanical gardens.
This is the earliest I have seen snow drops and grape hyacinth in
flower. Berry bushes are flowering whilst covered in berries and
rhododendron flowers scattered across bushes. Even some buds on trees
seem to be ready to burst.
Even some of the summers flowers are still flowing such as roses and
pot marigolds.

I know. I have a narcissus in the front garden which is in bud. It
must be an early daff and it has flowered in December before (It's one
of an old clump, but always the same one flowers early!) but it hasn't
had a flower bud in November in 13 years of being here. Loads of
wildflowers flowering still in the fields and we saw a Red Admiral
butterfly only 2 days ago. Amazing November weather.

Daffs & Blackberries still in flour!
