In looking at last year's GBBD post, it looks like many of the same things are blooming in my garden this year with the exception of the abutilons that, after this year's freeze are bare branches.
The flowers of Sarcococca are so small that I usually notice the gorgeous vanilla fragrance wafting in the air before I see the blooms. These January fragrances make us think that it's already spring. It is winter but the new growing season has certainly begun!
Jasminum nudiflorum or Winter Jasmine offers it's cheerful yellow color during the darkest and coldest parts of the year.
Grevillea victoriae ‘Marshall Olbrich’
Garrya elliptica
The first of the hellebores to bloom this year!
Petasites
Viburnum x bodnantense 'Pink Dawn' continues to delight with both bloom and fragrance.

As do these lovely Mahonias.
