A few weeks ago I was asking where had all the flowers gone.?

Question

Not anymore need I ask..... I have yellow and deep crimson wallflowers in bloom in my garden as well as roses, sweet peas, clematis and a viburnum which has a masses of pink blooms.

Surely the wallflowers and vibernum should not be flowering until late spring. Why do you think my garden has suddenly burst into bloom at this time of year? I usually have roses and clematis until Christmas or beyond but not sweet peas etc.

And I have just be bitten my a mossie (live in Scotland)

No infact it has been pouring down for weeks in fact this afternoon is the first time we have had blue skys for ages. Yesterday it was dark by 15.30. Strange.

Answer 1

Depends where you live, mine are all dying but hey I planted 170 bulbs for the spring so am looking forward to Spring again

Answer 2

It's depressingly warm, is why, especially in Scotland - the south of England seems to be heading for a mediterranean-type climate with only two seasons, one of which might be colder than average where Scotland is warmer than average - even though it might still be, ultimately, colder in Scotland, if you get what I'm saying.
I'm thinking of growing olive trees in my garden.
However, many plants are affected by light levels, not warmth, so some things will still do better in the south than the north, and vice versa. Have you had a lot of sunny days? That might be making the difference - light AND warmth.

Answer 3

It's climate change and there's nothing you or anyone else (inc politicians) can do about it. Enjoy.

Answer 4

long time passing

Answer 5

the world is messed up!

Answer 6
