    January

     

    You may think that no flower species could bloom in January, especially in the colder regions of the world, but you’d be surprised to find that flowers can grow in many surprising places and in extreme conditions. While January may be one of the quietest months for flower growth, there is still plenty to get excited about. Gorse, daffodils and snowdrops can all be seen across the UK in January, you just have to get out and about!
