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.
Lucky you! All I have is holly, plenty of berries though
What, no berries on the Cotoneaster?

The birds devoured all my cotoneaster berries a month ago. Plenty of
holly berries, though.
And one pink rosebud.

Oooh you posh thing D. say we have berries but I will check
tomorrow in case he missed their demise)

Change of plan! There is a gale blowing and it is chucking it down
out there


Yes)) There are loads) We went down to hang seed balls and
wondered whether to hang one in there Still they have the choice)



That's great, Ophelia! I would have been surprised if there hadn't been;
ours are smothered in berries:~). None are tall enough to hang seed balls
in, but one will eventually make small tree size.


My cotoneaster is supported on a fence so it was fairly easy.


Forgive me asking, but I hope your seed balls don't have the green netting
around them. It can tear birds tongues if they get caught in it. Having
seen such a bird in the grimmest of distress, I always check that friends
are aware of the problem. Hope you don't mind.


I don't mind at all, I am always happy to have advice from you.

Yes! They do have green netting I will take them down and see how else I
can use them. What do you use to hang yours in?

Thank you for the warning!
