Default In the garden

I went round the garden today, picking foliage for Christmas flower
arrangements. Each of these had a few flowers left, Salvia guaranitica,
Salvia confertiflora, Rosa Wedding Day, loads of different Vincas,
Salvia involucrata, an unknown lacecap Hydrangea, a Fuchsia fulgens and
a single Rosa bracteata.


I noticed the other day that one of the Hollyhocks which had been cut back
after flowering is developing a new flower spike.

This is on the North side of the house so it can't be getting any sun this
time of the year.

I assume that relative warmth and lack of major frost is giving it an
incentive to have another go.
