    Saw these in full bloom yesterday, and more shooting up out of the ground. Why is that??

    I planted some about 6 weeks ago, and something is pulling them up.

    Would crows do it?

    Mine are starting to come up too. I reckon they'll be in for a nasty shock in a couple of weeks.

    Over-wintering onions and garlic are flying up, doesn't look right

    There are some early flowering narcissi although even so, it's still quite early. In Wexford I've often seen narcissi in bloom around Christmas time but the very mild autumn has plants all mixed up.

    There is a late Autumn flowering variety so I'd say it was prob on an extended bloom rather than an early bloom.

    I have a big chilli plant in the green house still flowering and producing fruit. Bizzare as we're nearly into December.

    Littlebug you probably saw Prunus autumnalis - the autumn flowering cherry

    Ki, your daffodil bulbs should be around 6 inches down so it's unlikley Corvids are to blame

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    My Rhododendron is flowering. Doesn't normally happen until early February

    I have a Sunflower that's happily growing away !!!!!!!

    Must have been a stray seed because I planted none in the back garden and this lad has pushed up in my wheelbarrow of spent peat !!

    Will try and post a photo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,730 ✭✭✭redser7


    So I checked around the garden after reading the post and still have nicotiania and begonias blooming. A camelia bloom is opening! And I have a couple strawberry flowers coming on young plants I sowed seed for in summer. Must nip those out. They are all going to get some shock.

    Yeah I would say if anyone finds something still blooming from summer/Autumn to cut off the blooms.The plant would be knackard I would think.

    These same daffodils started blooming yesterday. About a month later than last year.
