I’ve just noticed my orange berried pyracanthas also has blossom on it. I’m in the South West but sure I’ve not had this before. Has anyone else seen similar?

I'm near Bath and my pyracantha is absolutely smothered in red berries but no blossom.

I’m not far from Bath either Sparklefizz

I have a white Azalea in full bloom it’s normally early Spring. It’s just our tipsy turvy weather I guess.

My orange berried Pyrocantha has no flowers and only a few berries, but that is because it is a hedge and I keep it closely trimmed. blush
My Weigelia has just finished its second flowering. I don't remember seeing it before. I also have a few primroses, but I usually do at any time of year.
Another anomaly is a hydrangea Glam Rock, which got knocked back severely last winter, has now produced a beautiful deep red flower head with blue centres to each flower. It is not supposed to be that colour but it is striking!
I shall be interested to see what else the weird weather throws up.

Our rose bush is covered in blooms and buds.

We’ve got a palm tree which has never flowered covered in blossoms.

My bottle brush is blooming again and my pelargoniums and geraniums didn’t look this good all summer.

I noticed my neighbour's palm has been spectacular this year, nanna8

That looks like a cordyline Nana8. I have one that flowers every year and the perfume is glorious. I thought it had died one year but it grew back from the base. This year one had self seeded in the garden. I’m pleased most of my huge phormiums which looked dead earlier have recovered although much smaller and several side shoots with gaps in the middle.

My lavender has put on a fantastic show this last month.
