Brighton
My loathing of fake plants is well documented on this blog, but I’ll make an exception for this wreath of artificial flowers.
It’s distinctly un-Christmassy, un-seasonal and, goddamit, un-British. But after some dark days of non-stop rain we need a bit of colour, and for that I salute whoever created it.
I'm a gardening journalist without a garden (I'm currently looking for one, preferably with a home attached). In the meantime, I'm appreciating other people's gardening efforts - big and small, urban and suburban, amateur and professional. I'm peering over fences and through garden gates looking for ideas and inspiration - mostly in London, where I live. I take all of the pictures on a compact Panasonic Lumix LMC-DX3.

I’m not keen on plastic flowers either, but I can live with this! Looks like a rare sunny day too
Thank you for taking this picture Veronica. I walk past this every day and keep meaning to take a snap but never get round to doing it!
It cheers me up every time I see it! An explosion of colour during the dreary days!
Thanks Lyndsey! Would love to know who lives there!
