Walking round the garden this afternoon, I discovered,to my amazement, I have wild violets in flower!

Anyone else have plants that shouldn't be flowering at this time of year?

I have a cowslip/polyanthus hybrid flowering, which has never done so at this time of year before.

Yes, I've got wild violets still in flower, along with something that looks like a yellow wallflower (which I didn't plant!) - I thought these were spring/early summer flowering?

Cheers,
Rob ;)

I find wild violets do flower any month of the year, specially the young self-sown ones. The primulas are the same.

I don't think it has to do with global warming - after all these are plants of the temperate regions,more likely this years odd weather.
