It's in a large pot on the decking and has dropped all of it's leaves. I am assured they are hardy though.................we shall see

A Fosythia to add a fairly short lived splash of yellow to the garden!

Godetia for me, they always remind me of the bunch of flowes a magician pulls out of his hat!

I'd like a Hibiscus - to dry the petals to make Karkade tea - which by coincidence, I'm drinking today.

A holly tree with lots of red berries, some for the birds and some for decorating the mantle piece.

They're normally stripped by December. Cotoneaster still covered in berries too. Plenty of blackbirds around but they seem happy with the fallen apples,
