Loads of flowers 'out of season' in gardens around here.

In the past week I've seen ....

Fuschia, ...geraniums, ..alysom,..., love-in-the-mist, ..marigolds, ...snap-dragons, ...hydrangeas, ...roses, ...hebe, ... and lots more.
This afternoon I noticed quite a few red clover flowers on a lawn.

Hi Gwyn
makes you think whats going on when so many flowering out of season. Maybe it's time to adjust the calendar?
