Cherries also in blossom around here but may be normal January flowering. Daffs here at same stage as yours... Here Geranium (pelargonium) still flowering, along with Ajania pacifica and Fuchsia. also Felicia amelloides and Gazanias still flowering.

Otorongo, I've noticed patio roses flower year round, and keep leaves year round!

Even in bad winters?

What kind of Fuchsia is still flowering, must be an evergreen variety?

Looks like Teasel - Dipsacus fullonum. Goldfinches love them.

In average Winters, it takes quite a lot to burn the leaves to be honest. There's one across the road from me, and it's still in full leaf and covered in flowers, which many more waiting to open.

Fuchsia is Mrs Popple.

it does look like the primula vulgaris thinking back I tried to remove it last year and think the flowers where creamy and yellow centre well il let it flower when it does, is this classed as a weed?
