Out of season flowering

BobTheGardener · July 2019

Hi all, I couldn't find a recent thread about this but I seem to be seeing more and more plants, trees and shrubs flowering at unusual times and wonder if anyone else is noticing this? If so, this would be a good place to post photos of them. I'll kick-off with a photo of a pear tree, already laden with well-developed fruit but it decided to produce a few flowers over the last few days:

This aquilegia was still going in September last year:

Last winter my winter jasmine was out-flowered by my summer jasmine.

I currently have two cyclamens (pink and white) flowering in my garden. They did flower last winter but are back now in July

And my dwarf lilac had a second flush of flowers that is just finishing. That was a really nice surprise as I didn’t find the time to enjoy it in spring.

Maybe Mother Nature is doing her best to keep the bees, and other insects, well nourished? Never before seen my apple tree bear blossom in late July alongside well-developed apples!
