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??
a crop of gardeners.....
ReplyDeletea barrow of gardeners...........a pot of gardeners.....

Perhaps a bounty, a harvest, or a compost of gardeners.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Loving the suggestions guys, keep them coming: what about a bouquet of gardeners
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas looks scrumptious, as do all the beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteHow 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.
ReplyDeleteA bloom of gardeners? Happy New Year, Annie! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy 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.
ReplyDeleteKnitted 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!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely Christmas-love the table runner and your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow 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!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers -- so different from our iconic images of Christmases in N. America!
