Cotoneaster flowering

Hi everyone,

Due to the cold wet summer and now a warm aftersummer/start autumn (22 ºC), my cotoneaster horizontalis has started to flower again...




Anyone experience flowering trees again?

ps. Should I cut the buds to preserve health for winter survival?

I've had a flurry of flower on my dwarf rhododendrons. My Cotoneasters are now in berry so I'm not expecting flowers, but in this climate you should never say never. We are this week having temperatures some 10C above the norm for September around here.

One of my Mame Cotoneasters is also in flower.
Used it as an accent at the Sheffield Bonsai Traders Show

My wild plum tree put on a few blooms this Fall, as well a a dwarf Rhododendron. My Chikory accent has been blooming for almost 3 months now.

It is not that rare for spring flowering shrubs & trees to throw a few flowers in the fall, if the weather is right. Magnolias & forsythias are prone to it. You do not have to cut the flowers off. Just enjoy them.
