Wow Janet, you've been busy with the camera. I was going to photo the Ena Harkness rose I picked on Christmas Day, but the petals have nearly all fallen off this morning. It smells gorgeous though.

Your camelias look lovely. Mine is a later one, we get too many frosts for early ones here. There are lots of flowers on the Mahonia which the blue tits like eating and the Viburnum Bodnantese Dawn has been in full flower for a couple of months. The winter honeysuckle is wafting scent around the garden and there are still lots of flowers on the winter jasmine. One of the prettiest shrubs at the moment is the Viburnum Tinus which seems to have flowers or berries all the year round and is smothered in lovely pink blossom just now.
