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.

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.
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.

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

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!

My cotoneaster has some berries, but only a few - because it is a
tightly pruned wall shrub, the blackbirds tend to leave it alone.

Unfortunately, I have no berries on my Danae.
