.... or they may be narcissi. It must be this mild spell we have just
now. How will they do between now and genuine Spring, I wonder. Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org |

Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org Last year, the first Dff came out on Dec 27th. I have a few almost ready. A wonderful day today in South Devon. Two on the trot and it's about time! 8C, no wind and sunshine. In the garden this mornin; lots of people out and about and doing the same. Missus and youngest, back from their run, commented on the fact that so many people said "hello" to them and that everyone was smiling. This is what a mild interlude does for you in winter. It puts a smile of relief on everyone's face. Long may it continue! Won't last, of course - it is, after all, January - but spring is not that far away now!! |

Picking at full tilt on Scilly now http://www.scillyflowers.co.uk/flowe...FVAf4QodJVZ5Yw after a lull before Christmas at just the wrong time. Narcissi rather than true daffs. However, as a daffodil is in fact a narcissi, which varieties officially constitute daffodils I'm really not sure. Everyone seems to have there own idea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(plant) doesn't really help! What I would regard as true daffs in bud on some south facing locations around Penzance now, helped by an average maximum temperature of 9.1C over the 1st 8 days of January. 5 or 6 years ago the fields were all yellow in time for the new year.

Graham Penzance- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - yes, if it looks like a daffodil, it's a daffodil! Hundreds, perhaps a thousand or more people out on the prom, beach and front in Teignmouth. Quite incredible; it was like high summer, except that everyone had a coat on! Scooters are the thing - even older teenagers were using them. The one boy on a unicycle was quite a sight though. Very clever. Generally, people really don't want snow and cold in winter. That's for a few hardened souls, a select number of whom seem to alight on the Internet! What people really want is sunshine. dry days and a bit of mild weather and they'll flock out to be able to enjoy the weather! Today in Teignmouth illustrated that in spades! |

Then we had the 2007 climate shift and they now flower end of Jan. I am growing some daff seeds from them in the (probably vain) hope that they set true to type. Wait 5 years & I'll let you know! |

Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org In Mid Suffolk Pansies in pots outside have now burst in to bloom, with leaves doubling in amount in last few days. Honeysuckle on exposed fence has new leaves bursting out on it and crocus and Iris bulbs are sprouting through in garden. Blackbirds are chasing each other - To keep warm?? However At 1100 hrs this morning there were still some very icy patches, even on A roads here after extensive hoar frost early. Frost on shaded grass all day today. Seems there had been no salting of roads at all in this area overnight. Amazing after all the warnings that had been issued for snow freezing on the roads overnight last month when there was no snow and often main roads here were dry and had been regularly salted in response to warnings.

NSS Mid Suffolk Golly, in this corner of SE London there are a very few timid little green shoots peeping out of the ground, but not many, and the camellia, which is usually going full blast by now, is covered with tight green buds. On the other hand, the Lady Hamilton rose, which was gearing up for a last little flush of flowers in November and which kept its buds throughout the snow and ice, has decided to open up early. I really ought to prune them but don't want to risk a frost attacking the cut ends. -- Kate B PS 'elvira' is spamtrapped - please reply to 'elviraspam' at cockaigne dot org dot uk if you want to reply personally |
