At this time of year, the botanical rituals are abound with Mistletoe hanging from our ceilings, wreaths on our doors,  Poinsettias on our tables and Holly decorating our halls, not to mention all the botanical foods we eat in celebration or that fill our glasses.

In homage, and appreciation of one of these plants, here is a short video on Holly: Ilex aquifolium.

Big thanks to Dr Jochen Langbein at Langbein Wildlife for sharing his wonderful pictures of deer eating Holly for this Vlog

Wishing everyone a wonderful festive season, thank you for following my blog in 2019 and I look forward to more botanising with you all again in 2020 🙂
