What's looking good in December 2016

Hope you don't mind me kicking it off with some indoor plants..
Amaryllis opened up today


White orchid (so dark needed kitchen light on!)



Geranium/pelargonium apple blossom



Kalanchoe, aloe, halo cactus and ficus, nowt special but quite happy with them

 

Cor!!! I've got Orchid Envy!!

 

Outdoors in a pot that goes under cover when frost threatens -Canarina canariensis...............

 

What Island is that from then @longk ?

 

Saintpaulia :-





Peperomia obtusifolia flowering (plus mealy bugs ! ) :-

 

Grevillea victoriae

 

@NigelJ Is this it's flowering time or out of season? I've not come across it before, looks a lot different to my G Camberra Gem (which is in bud) but probably not as hardy.

 

@strongylodon Yes this is it's normal flowering time and it should keep flowering until the summer. Supposed to be hardy down to -5°C

 

Cotoneaster horizontalis ...

 

Just one or two quick shots around my garden this afternoon.

Viburnum bodnantense still putting on a good show, best it's been for several years.



I've put this large pot of Gazanias in the cold greenhouse to overwinter and they're still going strong.



Not much else flowering at the moment, but there's still some foliage to be found here and there.
Fatsia japonica



Planted these a couple of years ago, just to see if it worked really. Lavender and variegated box together. I'm quite happy with this combination, the box stands out nicely at this time of year when the lavender isn't doing much.



A clump of parsley which popped up at the edge of the veg patch, haven't grown this type for a few years now so that's a bonus. Think I'll leave it there for now.

 

It's a good year for Viburnum bodnantense isn't it @Trunky ... mine is full of flowers too but the wet weather seems to be spoiling them.
Your Parsley looks lovely

 

Bulbs starting to poke through
So wet out.. wasn't going any further than poking my head and hand from the front door!

 

Can't risk it here then, already had -6c for a couple of nights causing damage.
