Thanks. It is beautiful when it blooms.

Hywel, I agree with you, and the senior one looked so sad, no fear when it saw m at the window either. While we were in the kitchen at 1.30 today, he was walking across the flat roof extension of a bungalow behind ours so he can obviously jump high!

They are beautiful Shirley :)

Thank you Karen. I have it for many years.

Thanks David, have a lovely time over the Christmas break. I look forward to 'chatting' with you on GoY in 2025.

Sending Christmas wishes to you Eileen ... have a peaceful and relaxing time. I look forward to reading your blogs in 2025.

Rose, I wish you a very happy Christmas and a great gardening year for 2025! I love your 'Mum' card too ... x

Loved reading all the comments. At 10.45 this morning I saw the senior Fox appear from behind our little summerhouse and walk along our garden path. He must have really squeezed into the narrow gap between the garden fence and summerhouse!

A couple years ago a fox walked quite boldly into my garden carrying a McDonalds food bag in his mouth as if it was the most natural thing to do, got himself quite cosey and then eat the contents, I didn't notice a drink though, and he left the the rubbish behind lol. Was the most comical thing I have ever seen . Merry Christmas all.

Very pretty!

Happy Christmas Bernie. I love the furniture!

Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
Lets hope it is a healthy one for us all!

I used to get them here but seems to have disappeared.
I wouldn't hurt them but it was so annoying when they were digging up my garden, almost uprooted a small tree once.

Thank you Hywel, Feverfew and Seaburn.

hope you also have a lovely happy & healthy 2025.
Merry Christmas too.

they are important animals in the ecosystem and it saddens me when people persecute them.

we have several in our village that look healthy too. I dont put food out for them though.

It’s lovely(&huge). What size container is it in?

It's a stunning shrub when it's in flower and still looks good when not.

Happy Christmas SBG. I hope you & both your girls have a nice time. Every good wish for 2025.

Thank you Rose & the same to you.👍

I thought how healthy they look too, no mange. I think someone must be feeding them.

Thank you Rose, I hope you have a lovely time, Merry Christmas !

👍

Same here, so I have an indoor wreath where I can use an over the door hook.

Me too..sadly I can't put one on our front door as it's not wood.

We have heard them occasionally, a truly scary sound sometimes. Screaming, like something from a horror film ... :o(

Wow!

Oh my…even better. And the foliage is also very handsome!

Absolutely lovely! Love the colour as well as the flower shape.

Very beautiful!

Just amazing to see all this colour at Christmas time! Beautiful!

Love that clear pink!

A very beautiful plant!

That’s a lovely scene! Have a happy Christmas Klahanie x

Thank you both. This was his work do at the Calgary Golf and Country Club. Very traditional!

Oh yes I can see now Shirley...do you hear them at night?

Julia, the last photo shows a smaller Fox, but they were both in the garden at the same time!

That one looks very handsome Shirley and as you say in good condition...I think I prefer them to the badgers we have here...so much damage.

Merry Christmas SBG and all the best in 2025.

Karen, I second that ... what a proud Mum you must be.

Now that is definitely a case of 'Right plant, right place' ... fabulous!

Julia, you have done a good job there. This year I have noticed more wreaths on front doors than ever before .. very festive!

Thanks for the Christmas wishes Janey ... here's to a good year ahead!

Love this photo ... :o)

Good to hear ... just in time for the festivities!

It is a beautiful building! I hope the laths don’t start breaking after a couple of years! It happened the last time it was redone.

He looks dignified and happy Karen, have a lovely Christmas all together. x

Thank you. I’m definitely on the mend x

Thank you both...the utility is very cool so it's left in there until delivery.

Sadly no, it's not seen all that often in my corner of the world. The nurseries stopped stocking it a few years back and I'm not entirely sure why as it does oh so well here. If it can grow and flourish in my garden, then it's an absolute winner!
