As I took these photos of our Australian Christmas, I wondered to myself, if the images were any different all around the world. There is Christmas Craft - the Knitted Pudding that mum made, and is filled with little chocolates - a tradition that is a favourite with us all - treasured ornaments, shortbread, the salads with lunch and then the blooms from the garden . . . ooops, I missed the snoozing after lunch, the book reading and the table decorations!
Where we went for Christmas, it was HOT, but the blooms didn't disappoint. I am blessed to come from a family of gardeners - just thinking, what would be a good collective noun for gardeners? Any ideas??

I loved seeing your Australian Christmas photos. Very colorful and festive. I love the knitted pudding that is filled with chocolates. That is really neat. Your flowers are wonderful!!!
Have a great 2013.

Perhaps a bounty, a harvest, or a compost of gardeners.
Happy New Year!
Loving the suggestions guys, keep them coming: what about a bouquet of gardeners
Your Christmas looks scrumptious, as do all the beautiful flowers!
How about a [seed] packet of gardeners?
A smell of gardeners......... I went and got some cow poo from the local dairy yesterday so smell it does around here.
A bloom of gardeners? Happy New Year, Annie! xx
Happy New Year, and Merry Belated Christmas! Your pictures,(as always) are lovely... makes me want to be there! All though, I would miss the white Christmas we had this time.
Knitted pudding, never would have thought of that! Cute!
What wonderful flower pictures--something very appealing to me in my winter wonderland. (60 cm in the last 3 days). I think that most of us have similar traditions, but the knitted pudding sounds like a winner!
Looks like you had a lovely Christmas-love the table runner and your flowers are beautiful.
How about a posy of gardeners or a blossom or a patch or a plot or a season of gardeners:)
I thought of another one! A bunch of gardeners!
Beautiful flowers -- so different from our iconic images of Christmases in N. America!
