Thanks to Cherry Ong ’s decorating mesmerism , Tim has kicked it up a notch and decorated his indoor tree this holiday season !
" Not much happens in my garden in Ohio in December , but I ’m working on hold some winter interest . The lengthened spill kept some industrial plant going and I do have flora that do n’t mind the cold . My small , two - year - old Gentiana scabra was a star this autumn , with its stunning dark flowers continuing on and on , while its foliage took on the most amazing chromaticity . I have some Chrysanthemum Wisp of Pink in the land and in a container . This photo is of the containerized specimen , which get to come inside when freezing temperatures threaten to nip those thistle - like petal .

I donned a festive hat at a friend ’s home plate to humour those who finger obligate to call me ' Santa ' all yr long , act as though no - one has ever said that to me before … I really do n’t heed and I realize I am asking for it ! "
