December in the garden

A lovely December Sunday: not too cold, no rain, and quite calm in the garden, so after washing the car...which has much needed, I spent a couple of hours in the garden.

A little bit of weeding, some light trimming of rose bushes, some potting, removing old leaves and dying waterlily leaves from the pond made me feel at one with the garden.

Behind the gazebo, growing on a large stump of dead wysteria, which I added to the 'fernery', I found these lovely fungi.

There is always something to catch my fancy.  In the low winter light, bright stems...

 Lovely acid green foliage

 Cyclamen with pretty leaves

Early spring flowers on a self seeded primrose

Sharp leaves...
