and see what is flowering.&nbsp; That is what a group of Grayshott Gardeners did this year, counting flowers that were fully open on the first day of January 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our clever gardeners have planted their gardens so there is a bit of interest in every season, so many of the flowers found were winter favourites \u2013 with lots of viburnums, witch hazels, mahonias and pansies (if the deer haven\u2019t treated themselves to a flowery delicacy and pinched all the blooms).\u00a0 It\u2019s been a mild year so far, so it was interesting to see that some plants were still hanging onto their flowers from the summer.\u00a0 But perhaps more surprising were the plants that were getting a headstart for the coming season \u2013 with one brave pink rhododendron stealing the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the list of what they found \u2013 hundreds of flowers counted in total, and 53 distinct species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"941\"
