HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!

What  would  Christmas  be  without  holly? 

Its  red  berries  bedeck  our  Christmas  puds  and  liven  up  the  wreaths  which  hang  on  our  doors, and  never mind  the  extra  food  they  provide  for  birds. But  hollies come  in  lots  of  colours  other  than  green. In  fact  there  are  almost  280  different  hollies  to  choose  from  altogether,  and  Jonathan  Hutchinson  looks  after  160  of  them, growing  in  the  National  Collection  of Ilex  at  RHS  C|Garden  Rosemoor  in  Devon.

THERE  IS  NO  PLACE  LIKE  HOME!

THE  TREE  IS  UP  AND  MY  APARTMENT  IS  OVERWHELMED  WITH  THE  SCENT  OF  PINE!!!
