Best wishes for the New Year to every one Makiko, I’m so amazed that a peony is flowering now ! What species is it ? For me, here are the flowers in my garden, Montpellier south of France : Hertia cheirifolia Bidens aurea ‘Hannay’s Lemon Drop’ Lomelosia minoana, which is loaded with flowers and seed’s heads Grevillea lanigera ‘Mount Tamboritha’ Euphorbia hypericifolia ‘Diamond Frost’ Justicia brandegeeana : it is flowering from January to December, non stop rosemaries Senecio linifolius Teucrium fruticans Iris unguicularis Bulbine frutescens Lavandula dentata Solanum laxum ‘Album’ Tagetes lemmonii Helleborus lividus subsp. corsicus which is just beginning to open the buds Chimonanthus praecox Calendulas Cestrum elegans started to flower, but we have frosty nights since 2 weeks (today -3°C/26°F), so the buds are falling down now ! Aponogeton distachyos, Erigeron karvinskianus Maurandya barclayana Salvia coerulea ‘Black and Blue’ Salvia leucantha and ‘Waverly’, a bit tired ! Salvia discolor and the wonderful Salvia x buchananii ‘Love and Wishes’ which is flowering all year long ! Rosa x odorata (Sanguinea Group) ‘Bengal Crimson’ : flowering all year long with a break in July/August Lonicera x purpusii ‘Winter Beauty’ Alstroemeria Anne Duchesse d’Anjou Micromeria graeca Thunbergia alata Oxalis carnosa in the greenhouse and also Citrus australasica Violas of course, I am sorry, but not a lot of bulbs in this list ! I assume there are some people here growing something else.
