    Hi guys,
    I planted a load of forget me not seeds about 3 months ago and planted the little plants out a few weeks ago, in my garden and a friends. Yesterday I noticed one of my friends forget me nots was flowering, and today one at mine.
    I'm confused I thought they only flowered in spring? Is this a one of because I started them from seed? Has anyone else had this?
    Thanks.

          Ours are also starting to flower again as are some cowslips and various other plants. The arum italicums are showing new leaves and some of the snowdrop leaves are showing already.

          A little bit worrying maybe though? The weather over here has been a bit random for some time now

          I don't worry about these things. The plants seem to know what they're doing. I guess they are just taking advantage of the good weather and are coming out to sunbathe.

          Lol that's one way of looking at it :D....makes me think It's going to make it easier for none native plants to spread. I don't know though.:scratch: will just make the most of it :cool:

          I've got several spring-flowering shrubs which the weather has fooled into flowering again, including my Lilac, one of my Rhodos and a Cherry Laurel. It's nice but a bit disconcerting :gaagh:
