Bulbs in flower on New Year's Day -- when I woke up to the very first frost of the season, probably an all-time late date of first frost here: Cyclamen coum, C. alpinum, Narcissus cantabricus, N. bulbocodium ssp. praecox, Sternbergia fischeriana, S. candida, two doubtfully identified miniature Colchicum species (one white, one pink), Crocus laevigatus, several Galanthus cultivars, Iris unguicularis (not bulbous). The sternbergias usually have not flowered until late January. Another lavender Crocus is in flower in the bulb lawn but I didn't get around to identifying it yet. In addition to normally midwinter-flowering shrubs such as Berberis 'Arthur Menzies', 'Dawn' viburnum, and sasanqua camellias, there are stray flowers on some other plants, probably in response to the almost freakishly warm season.
