There is only one variety that can handle frost, I believe, Richard.
richard standley: This variety won't handle it I am afraid Juan Carlos.

Looks a beautiful scene Richard! I don't know when this plant typically flowers, but the changeable seasons have caught the plants out! We had forsythia flowering in Octeber & November!
richard standley: Many thanks Martin. They are Winter flowers in mild areas.

Ha! Well spotted!
We had quite a lot of snow in London too.
But the weather was not quite right for it to set.
So everything's gone today...

It looks like many places in the northern Hemisphere are now getting snow. Some of our spring flowers have had a bit of a shock in the past week or so.
richard standley: We are having a late Winter Alan, but a severe one!

richard standley: It will Sherri. Thanks
