We have had an unusual mild spell this last couple of weeks, and the garden is full of life. It won't last, winter back this week they say. Winter Jasmine, Arum italicum with new leaves, Mahonia, Fungus, Stinking Iris berries, and geranium.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.It has also been freakishly mild here in southern Louisiana, south central USA. I have dahlias, scarlet sage, and Stokes Asters blooming, along with my roses, and it is freakin' January! Starting to see a smattering of light freezes, though. Poor confused flowers! ( All sideways pics, no less)

Our Dalias and roses have certainly gone, since we did have a cold spell earlier. Great photos though, I think that it is the first time that I have seen an overview of your garden.
These wide swings in temperatures have got to be hard on plants. Over our New Year's weekend here in North Texas, we had high temperatures of about 80°F one day and a low of 34°F the next morning. A Facebook post joked that we saw all 4 seasons in a 24 hour period - summer at 80° in the afternoon one day, Autumn at 57° that night, down to 34° for winter in the morning and rising to upper 40's later that next day for Spring.
