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.

There are still berries on the holly here - first time I can remember that. They're normally stripped by December. Cotoneaster still covered in berries too. Plenty of blackbirds around but they seem happy with the fallen apples,
