In the garden
"sacha" wrote in message ... 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 -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

Lucky you! All I have is holly, plenty of berries though Not a single berry to be seen. I resorted to Skimmia berries in the end. The birds don't seem to like those! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

We had bees all over during the year. Perhaps that is the reason? -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

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. 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. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |
