In this unusually mild winter, Chimonanthus praecox is in full bloom in week 2019/07. In colder winters, it may not blossom until April.
Chimonanthus flowers on 2-year-old wood, so the best time to clip it would have been just after the yellow flower buds appeared, and to have used the twigs for indoor decoration. But then we would not have had so much to admire from the panorama windows of our lounge.
From the kitchen, we sip drinks and gaze at the second mad praecox of our garden, Viburnum farreri, which usually starts shooting out pink blossoms around Christmas:
The last of our trio of early blossomers is Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis', a cherry which for some reason is refusing to play praecox and taking its time with us this year.
