Daffs pouring over from Scilly now, just in time for Christmas. Camellias
in full bloom in Penzance. Nice picture on www.cornwallcam.co.uk/. Also, our honeysuckle's decided to bloom. Still no frost so the osteospermum, geraniums and euryops still have flowers. We never seem to get decent autumn colours on the trees in Cornwall, but having so many flowers out in mid winter more than makes up for it. Graham |

Graham,
12-inch high daffs were observed nearby 2 weeks ago. The buds were still tightly closed but well formed. In Sidmouth a Camellia was in full bloom in November which is most unprecedented. Any sign of yellow mimosa trees flowering yet in W. Cornwall? What is also interesting is that some beech tree and black currant bush buds have already burst. Some of the beech tree leaves are 2 inchs long and more akin to their development in May. They are sure to get clobbered by frost, but I hope that this does not affect their growth in the Spring proper. What I am enjoying so much at the moment is the dryness. My back garden is normally a no-go area at this time of year. In fact normally from November - March; we have very thin top soil and unbelievable heavy clay beneath. This winter no problem at all so far...... Richard. "Graham Easterling" wrote in message ... Daffs pouring over from Scilly now, just in time for Christmas. Camellias in full bloom in Penzance.

Nearly a freezing day today, max of 0.2C at 1246 but only briefly. Min (so far) of -5.7 at 2128. No precipitation, a little light cloud but a generally a nice bright sunny day. No wind. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
