Nice photo of nasturtiums. I have nasturtiums still in flower too.

There are also still cornflowers, blanket flower, scabious, michelmas daisy, penstemons and lavateria in bloom here. Plus the cyclamen, primroses, viburnum and shrubby honeysuckle are flowering too now.

The flowers all seem confused this year we saw lots of Dandylions yesterday were tempted to pick them to make wine but not sure if they will have the same flavour this time of year

my black nightshade at school is still going

despite the cold whether

[leifus]

stinking hellebore and lentens-rose the other day

[KeenTeen17]

this is the flower of the day thread for anyone wondering what the sticky request thread was about

[tameblackbirds]

Ah I'm in the correct place now

[KeenTeen17]

today I found sun spurge in full flower

[KeenTeen17]

I have seen wood avens in flower today and also a really small garden daffodil species which I'm not sure what it is

[KeenTeen17]

it looked like a primrose peerless in flower structure but the flower was yellow and very small

As requested by KeenTeen, a couple of additions to the Flower of the Day thread to keep our record of the winter complete:



Ipheion, Ipheion uniflorum - well naturalised under a tree on Queen Charlton village green, Somerset, 7th January 2009. I've never seen this plant before, even in a garden, and wouldn't ever have got the identification without posting it on here



(Common) Snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis - Compton Dando churchyard, Somerset, 7th January 2009. There were quite a few of these in flower, although they'd suffered from the frost - when I first heard about them I'd hoped they might be one of the rarer alien species, but no such luck



Primrose (Primula vulgaris) & Ivy-leaved Toadflax(Cymbalaria muralis) in flower in the same area; the Ivy-leaved Toadflax seems to be going right through the winter as I've now seen it in a couple of places, but I was very surprised to find Primrose out already.

Not particularly a wild flower but I have a large pot of Wallfowers in front of my kitchen window in flower!

This is not the time of year for them. They even froze solid and went limp with the ice. Today is milder here and they have lifted their heads and look fit and healthy! These are my flower of the day or winter even!
