Garden plants blooming on New Year's Day in West Sussex, UK.

 After record rainfall and mild weather the plants think that it Spring: and the birds are singing away as well.
The Common Dog-violet usually flowers from March to May.

 Osteospermum in flower but closed due to the cloudy weather.
 Primulas.
 Camelia sp. in flower.
 Geranium sp.

 Snowdrops about to open.
 Daphne bhuola exquisitely fragrant and visited by Honey bees a couple of days ago.
 Daffodils almost in flower.
Winter flowering Jasmine.  This is a strange winter weather-wise.
