Hi Val, Do you still have flowers on your winter jasmine ??
 all our flowers are gone and it's rare that we prune it, because the birds love it so. It's top of the wall and about 8 ft' wide. Have just asked Eve,not sure about any flowers, so maybe I am wrong. Sorry.

Hi Val, You right, too early for flowers yet. With this cold, my mind is not that clear ?? I was somewhat confused with our tree, that has berries on it. The Blackbirds have just started to feed recently. The main garden job, is  cleaning and filling the bird baths, topping up nuts and seed. (while I am on my shaky legs) -- But it's Fun.
A squirrel came knocking at the patio window, 3 times yesterday, ahem ?? just to tell me there was No Nuts left  Well one did come right up to the door (was closed) so he could not come in to 'watch' Tv = Shame. Lol!!

Laughter keeps one going

I still have acidanthera in flower. Lovely plants, nice scent.

We had a pleasant afternoon today, watching the 'wild life.
I think they all turned up, to put on a show for us. Lol!!
 Oh! yes!  we now have four squirrels visiting us ?? Wow !! no wonder the Nuts go so quick ?? But we love them.

Winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) starts flowering on the first warm January day, only to be beat back by the freezes that are sure to follow. It’s the earliest shrub to bloom in the garden in our climate. Blossoms are scattered from January ‘til March with peak bloom in February. The Chinese name is "Yingchunhua," or the Welcoming Spring Flower, an apt name for this early bloomer.

Winter jasmine is a little mounded plant that grows a couple feet tall with green, arching stems that cascade over walls and embankments, creating a mounded, sprawling form when allowed to grow unimpeded. It has small, lustrous, trifoliate leaves that fall with the first frost. Though deciduous, the green stems give it an evergreen appearance.

The cheery, solitary trumpets are bright yellow and about 1 and 1/2 inches long. Fully opened flowers are the size of a nickel with five or six petals. Winter jasmine never makes a single flush of flowers like forsythia, so seldom makes a show-stopping display. It belongs to the olive family, but unlike the white flowered winter jasmine and other members of the family like lilac and osmanthus, it has no fragrance.

Winter jasmine is hardy as far north as St. Louis, making it the most winter-hardy jasmine. It was introduced from China in 1844 when the English plant collector Robert Fortune sent the Royal Horticulture Society plants he had purchased from a Shanghai nursery.
