Tabby cat sitting in a 40 cm clay plant pot with plant dirt, but no apparant plant in it. She and the pot are next to a wild bed of blooming nepeta, aka catmint, Nigella damascena, aka love-in-a-mist, and stalks but no flowers of decorative allium. The flower bed also contains a pink and white swirled handblown glass garden ball on a glass pole, and all is backed by a weathered grey bark-on wooden slab fence.
Small, potted olive tree being decorated by a pair of hands with straw stars, small red glass bulbs and a string of fairy lights as an alternative Christmas tree.
