I love your header photograph Karen, and your post on planting trees. The cornus controversa variegata is stunning. I am curious to know whereabouts you garden!

Thank you Freda. The header photo came from a walk around Whatton House garden- a favourite historic garden near home. Mum and I love to go there every month. It’s not very well known and we are often the only ones walking there. One day, we found the dog graves in a secret grove. Such a poignant discovery. And nearby was a stone on the ground with the words “Paradise Regained.” The gardener said he’d just found it and was using a spade to clear the edges. Since then the grass has grown over the stone and we’ve never been able to locate the site of it again. I’m a bit of a sentimental person, and I thought the header would be a good start for the blog. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog. My garden is in the Midlands, uk, on a windswept but wild and beautiful ridgeway. We can see for miles. But it’s very cold in the winter.

Forsythia in fall – what a surprise! I do love how easy they are to force during the winter – a little bit of spring when it’s still cold outside!

We’ve had such a mild autumn -so far. Quite a few plants are flowering out of season. And the autumn colours have been just amazing this year. Hope you are enjoying fall where you are. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

Ours is similarly mild – flowers that would typically be long dead are still blooming!

[D] Wow! Will make it susceptible to frosts, do you think? Flowering usually precedes a spurt of new growth.

No, it’s tough as old boots.

We’ve had frost for two nights, which has stopped it in its tracks. Glad I caught a few branches and brought them indoors to enjoy before the freeze. Yellow flowers are such a joy on dark winter days.

It looks great flowering with the burnished leaves. Hope it saves some buds for March!

When does it usually flower for you?

Usually March, on leafless stems. I’ve got this one underplanted with white scented narcissi and blue anemones. I’ve never seen it flower in November before.

I always thought it flowered all winter.

I’m wondering if you’re thinking of winter jasmine, maybe. They are so similar in flower. This one , I think is forsythia intermedia spectabilis.

I’m glad its not just me. I was feeling terrible this morning as I’d told a customer to buy the wrong plant. I shall have to take it back and swop it now. Ah well. That’s life x
