My chojubai clump needs another week before the latest before the latest flush of flowers is blooming again so for now this is a cutting i propagated from my garden tree mume alboplena and gave to my gf.

The garden tree has pretty much finished flowering but still looks the goods with the couple of dozen flowers still on it. In a few years once it's developed it will be spectacular as i've put the alboplena and a double pink in the front garden near each other so it should be a good show eventually.

Just by cutting, nothing fancy.

Not sure if this counts, probably not ... but I saw this little bloom on my black sheoak this morning.
It's about as close as I'll get to a winter flower I think this year.

It’s a flower and it’s winter; fits the criteria just fine in my book!

Couple of species have already dropped flowers at my place (chojubai etc) so can't show photos. I trimmed most my natives in Autumn and presuming I would have had alot more species with flowers if I hadn't. Been pulling the flower buds off a Callistemon subulatus that wasn't one that got trimmed to speed up development.

Same as Rory - my Leptospermum scoparium 'Winter Cheer' is in full flower as usual today. I would guess it flowers about 10+ months of the year, no matter what season I can walk out and more flower buds are opening. I'm sure it must hinder the growth but it's just too much effort to keep up removing these flower buds.

Also flowering at the moment is my Osmanthus delavayi 'Pearly Gates'. Not much of a show of flowers really, but I believe the tree is just confused I thought it wasn't actually supposed to flower until Spring? Who knows this year.
