Quite a few people do this already but I thought I might give a nudge

Not really had time to look round properly but our Lapageria is in
bloom.


Well, there you are! And what else will you find tomorrow..........?

Early Christmas morning walk round the garden with my old girl shows a
distinct reversal to a decade or more ago: unlike recent years, when
there were always roses etc., this year six weeks of almost daily frost
has done for just about everything, except the faithful prunus
subhirtella autumnalis and, of course, the winter jasmine. I live in
hope that it has also done for some of the pests and diseases of recent
years!

A happy Christmas to all!
