We've had peculiar weather - generally warmer than usual, though some nights in the teens, which is more where it's supposed to be. I noticed my winter blooming jasmine (jasminum nudiflorum) in full throttle bloom. It doesn't usually bloom 'til end of Feb/early Mar. Sort of brightens up the winter doldrums.
crazy weather
Weerobin, what a lovely jasmine! I had never heard of it. I'd like to have one for our garden. We're in zone 6a also and I hope I can grow a winter blooming jasmine as perfect as the one in your photo.

Unusually warm here too.
Noticed buds on a lilac
10° here the last couple of days, Winter Aconites in flower. Set to turn colder later in the week though, with night frost.

Edit: up to 11.5° this evening!

Wow. That sort of gets you in the mood!
Let's go gardening! :)
Wooohooo, a bonsai-in training. That's going to be quite stunning Robin.
Lousy rainy weather here, but I drove past a 500 foot long hedge of Lonicera fragrantissima in full bloom.
I'm wondering if those of us in NW Ohio (formerly in Zone 5, but now in zone 6) will have had sufficient chilling hours to completely break dormancy for the apple crop. Nothing's blooming, or even showing signs of bud swell, but we just haven't had any cold for any duration. Much of the time we've been at 45 or above. Too warm. Lots of apple orchards around here.
Lily, how strange that my with hazel is in full bloom and yours hasn't bloomed yet!
Yet your magnolias are in full flower? Very strange...
I have camellias blooming also, but only in the garage!
But my trick is to take them out of the garage in full flower and put them on my front porch.
Then all our visitors for our annual super bowl party are wowed! Works every year!
Edited to add: What a beautiful idyllic setting you have!!

Robin, we may just have different type of witch hazels? Mine is "Arnold Dwarf" or something, I need to look back into the record and see if my memory serves me correctly. Other factors that may influent its timing is the microclimates. Mine is in the front yard which is largely sheltered from evening sun. Our Saucer mag. hasn't fully bloomed out. But those that in our neighboring area are. Then again it's dependent on the micro climate-- I do believe. Your idea to "force" the camellias blooms for annual super bowl party is fantastic. Superb idea!
Thank you for your compliment. It's work in progress, you know how it's. One's garden- work is never done. Love that white Camellia bloom!
Arnold Promise, I presume. A very beautiful yellow.
That's it! Thank Robin. Arnold Promise it's!
Those are beautiful Robin! I lost a Yoshino cherry due flood. Otherwise it'd be beautiful this time of year.
