Well, my Cl Cecile Brunner is having its normal Oct/Nov bloom. It goes up the side of our house. As i was walking by yesterday, I noticed a strange bloom cluster among the pink, which was bright yellow - yup, the banksiae lutea must have gotten excited by all of the CB blooms - you can see the little yellow cluster among the pink, right in the middle of the pic.

We've had some odd bloomings this year too! About a month ago the honeysuckle was blooming and even one of my forsythias! Mother Nature is a bit confused I'd say :)

That is exciting---Many years ago we went to Martha's Vineyard for our yearly visit in Oct.---much to my surprise the Lilacs and Forsythia were all in bloom----One of my friends who lives year-round on the Island said it was because of Hurricane Bob---seems the water washed up on all the plants and then the temps dropped so everything was frozen----well according to my friend the plants all thought winter had come and gone so they proceeded to burst into their "spring bloom"----it was really something to see

I went outside the other day and found a bloom on Gallica officinalis!!! Now that really knocked me over.

We have a few blooms on 2 of our Rhododendron.They happen to be yellow so a bit cheery. The daylillies are also blooming again.

Many plants are "confused" with the odd weather much of us have had. The stinky Evergreen Pears are flowering sixty days early here. Normally, that happens just before the heaviest of the rains in January so their foul smelling blooms get beaten off by the rains. I HOPE that's the case this year. They stink! Kim

I have a big hedge of forsythia and noticed that one stem was blooming yesterday. Can't say " the forsythia is blooming " because only a little tip of one cane is, but still it is something I haven't seen before. Also saw a few honeysuckle blooms. More amazing to me is that my relatively new La Ville de Bruxelles has rebloomed several times this year.

Today, I explained to my once blooming cuttings that it would be okay if they decided to put out a bud or two. Pretty sure they did not listen to me...sigh. (I would really like to ask what they are)

If you summer prune banksias, they rebloom. In a park near me they are clipped into gumdrop shape, and usually have some bloom on them. We pruned our white single on the barn this summer, and it was in pretty full bloom all October.
Yours probably isn't a weather related fluke, you probably just trimmed back a cane or two over the summer.

I think this is somewhat common in mild weather areas. I see it happening in the village of Mendocino.
