      • Trumpet vine. The first I heard of them was when my MiL gave me the plant last year. Shame the earwigs keep eating the flowers. I must put some soy sauce out.

          • Morning Glory flowering. First saw this flower in Azores where it was prolific and tried a few times to grow without success. This year it flowered for first time ever - but it is like a dandelion, the flowers only last a day. These flowers are already past their best and they not long since opened. Needless to say, I won't be trying it again (there is an anenomie flowering close by and in the corner a sweetpea.)

                  • MY FOTM for last month would have been morning glory, (but a purple one) if I'd got round to posting it. I love it, even though I only see its full glory on my days off as by the time I'm home from work at 2.30 the flowers are already fading. It also refuses to flower until it has scrambled to the top of the fence, while I was hoping it would hide the fence in a blanket of flower.

                    • And now for 2017

                      January has to be Camellias. There are 4 different camellias in flower at the moment. Such exotic flowers for January.

                      Runners up are Primroses and Pineapple sage (Salvia elegans). Smells of pineapple and 5' tall. Easy from cuttings

                        • Flowers of the month are my nemesia wisley that's been in flower all year,it gets some shelter & warmth from the house & survived all those frosty mornings. Crocus & snowdrops look pretty too.

                          • Flowering rather early in the year, my flower for February is a scented wallflower 'hedge' which stands at around 4 foot. I reckon the mild winter must've been good for wallflowers, because I've got several more which are just a vigorous.

                            • These crocus have a few more flowers since February & a close up of the pink flowers on daphne odora rebecca that have started opening,a nice bright colour out there amongst the green.
