Winter cheer.
« on: January 01, 2004, 20:42:11 »


Iris foetidus berries. Lonicera fragrantissima, Mahonia and Viburnum bodnantense Dawn.
Not the best photos but it was raining most of the day today.
Cheerful enough for you?

Is it my imagination or has the Mahonia become more popular of late.
Enough to cheer any dull day up .Thanks Eric.

Well done Eric for some great pics.

Nice to see something so uplifting in this miserable damp weather.

Happy New year to you

Love the pics Eric. Wish I could get the hang of posting here.   :(  Can you post straight from your pics stored on your computer like you can on G4A?

Eric, lovely to see a bit of colour, as not much around at the moment on these dark murky winter days. Thanks  :) busy_lizzie

They're lovely pix, Eric - thanks for taking them & sharing them with us :-*  mahonia is one of my favourites & always reminds me of my father who loved them too, so I'm particularly miffed that all my attempts to grow them have met with singular failure - must have about 4 sickly looking things. Any special tips, anyone, on optimum conditions? - Lish

Hello Pat. Happy New year to you.

Posting direct to here is posible, but a bit complicated (took me a while to figure it out - now thats saying something!).  When I get the time i'll explain it (if i can remember -lol).  

Unless of course Eric would be so kind?

Thanks for that Richard - I should be able to post pictures as there have been enough explanations here in the past, but being a thicko ???I just can't manage it :-/

I think Eric will probably be fed up with explaining as I think he has attempted to before from memory >:(
