No flowers until the daffodils and tulips come up?

Does henbit count?! Okay, that's a winter blooming weed...
I did plant some sasanqua camellias last year but they are already done blooming. Am hoping in future years they will bloom a bit later and longer! I do have a bit of leftover fall color - roses still blooming, reblooming irises sending up new scapes, etc. Also, I plant a lot of mixed lettuce greens and edible kale - in addition to being tasty, offer nice color and texture to the winter garden.
Otherwise, not much for color, John. Generally I tend to just enjoy the falling leaves right now. Last fall I was going to plant pansies in several areas , but was in a serious car accident late October and couldn't bend right most of the winter. This year I am 8 months pregnant and still can't bend!!! Maybe next year... ~ Suzie

I'm in NC and I love to have flowers in winter--one flower in January is worth twenty in July! My favorites for winter bloom: Helleborus foetida (stinking hellebore--but it doesn't stink!), iris unguicularis (yes, this iris does bloom in winter!), prunus mume (flowering Japanese apricot, blooms the last of January for me), and Rjinfeld's Early Sensation daffodil, which sometimes blooms for me by December 31, and in this unusual year with very mild temps in NC is blooming for me right now--and the impatiens haven't all been killed! The winter jasmines are blooming in our neighborhood also, and of course, there are always pansies.

I did forget one of my favorite winter flowering herbs - borage. I let it freely reseed throughout my garden. I rip it up and scatter the seeds in the spring. It has just started to re-emerge in the past few weeks. Because it forms a nice, thick mat, I do believe it is effective at keeping some of the winter weeds at bay.
Rosemary is another great winter blooming herb, though it can be quite unpredictable. I have had one bloom for the past five winters, but it bloomed late summer this year. I am anxious to see if it blooms again this winter.
Sally, I am intrigued by that iris! Will have to check into it. I do love hellebores, but am lacking shade... ~ Suzie

In January to see the winter honeysuckle blooming is such a heartening sight signaling that winter will soon be over here in my part of Texas. Then when the red flowering quince begins to show its red blooms I know it is just a matter of time before the whole place will erupt in everything from dandelions on the hills to daffodils in the beds. Right now I still have some roses blooming....Duchess de Brabant is valiantly trying to pretend it isn't winter, as is Sonia.
