Australian Christmas is Blue by

Christmas in Australia is bright, its blue.
Here is a good replacement for a poor disoriented pine or plastic tree, a tree that may not really want to be here.
Plant January’s hydrangea trimmings in 9 pots. If these sticks ‘take’ and sprout, your cuttings will become flourishing plants by Christmas time. Stack, and decorate with fairy lights, powered by mini solar panels.
Look – the panel lobes are four-petal shaped. Good mates for the four-lobed hydrangea. Solar Powered, redolent of thundery Summer Christmases, and absolutely, splendidly renewable.

    Awesome Christmas tree, I love the idea. And the mouse is a very cool element.

    Azza, you spotted my furry creature! Actually, its an Australian Possum. They live in our balconies and steal our fruit.
    But we did steal their whole country, so I guess its kind of fair.
