I saw an article on the news that said there should only be 5 - 10 wild flowers showing at this time of year. Apparently they've counted more than 60 in one city. We're due a cold spell soon though.
I was just about to leave the same comment as Jan - I also heard on radio 4 this morning that there were 63 different flowers out at the moment, I think the survey had been in Cardiff, or perhaps Carlisle (I wasn't 100% awake!)
The wassailing event was worth going to and there was a huge turnout. This was the third annual event and I'm sure with such a good turnout, it will be on again next year. Perhaps you could put a reminder at the end of your calendar to look out for it in Jan 2013!
I;m usually scratching around looking for green shoots at this time of year, but the snowdrops etc are well on their way - I hope they all survive! Ive never thought about planting a juniper - do you use the berries? xxxxx
There's a surprising amount of green around isn't there? I have little spots of colour here and there too,winter jasmine, snowdrops, one or two little crocus, pulmonaria, the odd primula flower. Not exactly a blaze of colour, you have to go and look for them but nevertheless they are there.

I have quite a bit of green in the garden at the moment. Even the grass needs a good mow! x

I have a primrose in flower. The plants are so confused by this mild winter :(
