Between us and next door is a small "hedge" which flowers in december and January and has pretty little bright yellow flowers.

I wouldn't have thought that any plant would flower in winter but this one does every year. What the heck is it?

Could be winter jasmine (jasminum nudiflorum) although that's more of a climber or wall shrub. It has bare, green stems.

Could it be Forsythia flowering early or mahonia....holly like evergreen leaves with small spikes of yellow flowers coming from a central rosette.

Lot's of winter flowering plants, many of them are sweetly scented too.....for a gorgeous scent, try sarcocca (called christmas box).....tiny little flowers on an evergreen shrub which are devine.

Any better description of the hedge would be useful
That's supposed to say Sarcococca !!!!!!
I think winter jasmine sounds most likely

this is mine/neighbour's growing through a cotoneaster, taken recently...

sorry if it looks a bit fuzzy - bit like me today!
My winter jasmine is out in full bloom at the moment, the best show its put on so far!
Hi again kev,
I noticed another yellow flowered shrub in a local park today thats out at the moment, take a look at this pic for an ID. It's not very common and called 'Wintersweet'
