It’s the season for quizzes. Half of these pictures were taken in Mississippi and half in England. Can you guess which is which?
I’m not sure if a clue would be warranted but for now, I’ll just say that what might seem like a clue isn’t one.
To meet HeyJude’s request that we celebrate colour in December.

Fabulously colourful. The gnomes and mantelpiece from UK the others US???
Yes, except that the glass flowers were from the Chatsworth Flower Show.
🙂
There is no way I’d venture a guess because I’ve been following your blog for a while now, and I think you have featured many a nonconformist gardener, none of whom would look like where they’re from. No matter where, I covet those glass flowers almost as much as I covet those cookies. And I have to say that that flamingo in the Santa hat is one of the goofiest-looking things I’ve ever seen — it gave me the giggles (most unseemly).
I’m glad the Santa made you giggle. I did try to make it tricky. I need to find a plastic flamingo fancier in England for next time.
Agree that the gnomes and fireplace are probably from England.
The glass could be anywhere as the artists have travelling exhibitions
Good point! In this case it was England, at the Chatsworth Flower Show.
No idea but they are all cheerful and fun.
Thanks, Steve.
what fun 🙂 the flamingos must be American!
Nobody was duped into thinking the flamingos could be England. What does that say about the nation?
we need more pink legs in our life!
Lovely colourful photos, Susan. Every one of them very eye catching. I really am not sure where these photos are taken, but I am guessing you had a good time taking them. Those Christmas treats look delicious. Hope you enjoyed some. I discovered your blog from Jo’s blog, and you really have lovely photos.
I can’t tell which pictures are from which place. I lean toward America for the flamingos. We used to have a large flock of plastic pink flamingos in Austin:

I thought that was taken in Darwen at first glance… only teasing. It could only be Austin, couldn’t it? You are correct about the flamingos. They are too closely associated with warm climates to have caught on here.
