Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

This one works whether it’s the name of the blog it appeared on (first) or the name of the person in the photograph – so take your pick.

Right – that’s your lot! You now have all the windows open, and hopefully all the letters you need to come up with the answer.

If you’re still a bit stuck, take a look back at the day a window was opened as I’ve given a few little hints and tips along the way. And then there are the original rules, explanations and excuses here.

In the spirit of Christmas generosity, I’m also going to give you a big fat hint which should help you get the final answer.

As I said in the original post, I’m looking for the name of a Christmas present a gardener would enjoy: and also the name of a genus of plants, many of which are in flower at this time of year.

So here’s your clue:
I want 4 words in all
3 of which will be the name of the Christmas present.
2 of the words are the name of a well-known gardener and designer.

And it’s the short version I’m after, not the long one.

Now that’s quite enough clues for you all.

If you think you’ve got the answer, email it to sally [dot] nex [at] btinternet [dot] com. First person to email me with the correct name of both Christmas present and plant gets the prize!

If it’s all just too difficult and nobody manages to guess within a week, I shall help you along a bit; and if nobody guesses it after that, I’m keeping the prize msyelf as I want it too. So there.

Happy Christmas to one and all and may all your Brussels sprouts be crunchy!

Oooooh! Nearly there! Time to open the penultimate window of the festive season….

Oooooh…. not long now! Are you feeling Christmassy yet?

Today’s hint: this object has a name: but it’s the owner’s name which will give you the letter you need.

Bit tricky, this one, so here’s a slightly cryptic clue: you won’t find it on the boring version. And the letter comes from the flower depicted, not the blog’s name.

Phew…. less than a week to go… the end is in sight, folks…

The thing in the picture behind today’s window has acquired legendary status in the garden blogging world this year. However, you’ll get your letter not from the name of the blog where it achieved such fame, but from the name of the thing itself. And be very specific.

Another hint with today’s clue: this picture appears in a lot of places but it’s not the event, it’s the original blog’s name I’m after. But don’t forget the exceptions listed in the original rules, explanations and excuses here.
