Season’s Greetings, everyone!
And many thanks to the seemingly indefatigable Maggi and all others who have make this forum so entertaining and such a valuable resource.
Attached is an image of the wreath formed around the oculus in my pergola: it's about five feet in diameter. Enjoy!

Thanks, Peter -  is that a nice Boxer dog you have there? 


Jim, it's all very well for you to SAY this  is a photo of a wreath...it's very pretty.... BUT.... it looks to me suspiciously like a UFO ........ ::) :-\ :-X

A happy Christmas to everyone on the forum, and all the best wishes for the new year. I hope all your plants grow well and are "exactly what is says on the label" for the coming season.

Jim's spectavular UFO (unidentified effing object) reminds me of those rings of jelly containing eggs that turn up in the kids' paddling pool during the summer. Thankfully, not 5' across! :o

Well, it's not unidentified; it's a sort of torus, isn't it?

And Anthony, I hope "effing" doesn't mean over there what it means over here.

I assure you mine is a very chaste torus, even though it only comes out at night.

Are those rings of jelly you mention of the batrachian sort?

I think the eggs are caddis fly, or perhaps stonefly. The whole ring is about 1cm diameter.

A merry, merry Christmas and a happy new year from a German croconut!
Thanks to all my friends all over the world for your friendship and the good swaps we did in the past.
I hope to have more time for visiting the forum next year, in the last weeks my time was dramaticly reduced for private fun  :-\
