Strange you should post this blog, Jacque, because I noticed these on my little magnolia tree a few days ago and took some photos. I wonder if the abnormal weather has caused them to try another flush of flowers?

It's quite normal for Camellias to have buds at this time of year, the frost won't harm them as some of them flower in February anyway. I think it's normal for Rhododendrons too, can't go and look at mine to check as it's almost dark!

Yes you can find bud on rhodos. sitting all through the winter - just like we have trillium noses poked out of the ground... we used to worry now we just dump some leaves and small brances on them to hold the leaves down

Our magnolia starts to show its buds now. Last winter they survived -20C and still flowered as normal.
