    Daffodils are out already (October!)

    Yeah, I planted them a bit too early (Sept), then we got a warm spell in early October and they thought it was April.

    Here's one (Thalia), with pelargoniums and dahlias in the background.

      Good grief!!!....must be a lovely suntrap!?
      You've just reminded me - when we were last in the UK ( about 6 weeks ago) the grape hyacinth leaves were a couple of inches high...I wonder if they have flowered by now???
      That too is a sun trap- S/W facing tub.
      That's a pretty daff by the way- do you know what variety it is?

        The daff is Thalia, and the garden is on the north side of the house, though this patch is at the sunny end

          Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

          What would Vedder do?

            A couple of my dwarf ones also flowered. They've been in the ground for 3 years now, so it's nothing to do with planting out late I think.

              Jings Two Sheds. I've never seen that. I didn't think it was possible to get them to flower outside their season. Something strange going on.

                  I saw Sol d'ors for sale today. In October!! They were always the first sign of Spring to me. I don't like this at all, there seems to be no start 'nor end to the seasons now.

                    This thread reminds me. Is it unusual to have a second flush of strawberries now? We have loads on various plots on our allotment site. All ripening nicely in the end of October sun

                        I planted some oxalis bulbs in pots not 4 weeks ago and they are fnow flowering - meant to be mid-spring!

                        I have a friend who once planted all her daffs in early spring (in Scoltand) and ended up with a summer display of them - she was the talk of the town!

                        Crazy seasons we have now...

                          My clematis has just produced a flower after it had died back.
