Absolutely enjoy the monthly reports and pictures! I put plants that I saw in your photos on my Christmas list :)
I have to say that I love the Ballerina blue primula very much. Will it also bloom in spring if it is confused now?

The other ones did. So I hope this one will too.

I have just found out that the primula's name is actually Belarina and not Ballerina . Sorry for the confusion.

What's blooming here? Outside, absolutely nothing! There is a thin layer of ice on most lakes and even the river has ice forming. 8 degrees here this morning. My blooms are just a memory, so especially glad to see your pics.

Still awaiting our first frost here. I have fuchsias, chrysanthemums (no name) and Clematis 'Sodertalje' and roses blooming here in my microscopic garden and the nasturtiums are still going on the allotment. And the winter bloomers are overlapping with the end of summer. Winter jasmine, Iris unguicularis, Viburnum tinus, Lonicera fragrantissima, Mahonia, Daphne odora, Ericas etc Plus the bulbs are beginning to show. And my red geraniums in the front window box have taken on a new lease of life for some reason.

Wieslaw, your pictures are a huge inspiration! Thanks so much for the monthly 'updates'.

Flora, I chuckled when I saw that your bulbs are showing. Last Fall I planted Daffodils near our front sidewalk. They bloomed this Spring, I let the greens all die back (took months), and now they're 'up' about 2". Sure hope they survive the Winter and bloom in 2012.

Snowing here!

Your monthly flower photos are appreciated by me as well. It is interesting to see what is growing in other places and other people's gardens.

My Primula x polyanthus have been blooming all year and still have a few blooms. I am surprised as think of them as only spring bloomers.

I also enjoyed the monthly updates! Thanks
