Firstly, if you're on the hunt for a lovely floral calendar, full of watercolour flowers at every time of year, this may be the post for you.

Here's the back of the calendar, showing all 12 images together...

And a peek in more detail. Some of the months show the flowers in context (like February and July).

| July's happy butterflies are in a different garden... |
Others show the flowers in even closer detail, (like March and October).

| Bright daffodils await you in March... |

| And mellow nasturtiums feature in October... |
Either way, this makes a lovely gift or treat, for yourself, or for friends or family members.
And if this calendar looks familiar...
And secondly, if you've been reading here a while, and these images somehow look familiar, you're right.
There is indeed a post from 15th December (!!) 2023, featuring a similar calendar.
Which (as pretty much anyone but me would've realised at the time) is, waaaaay too late for anyone who wants their calendar to start on, oooh, I don't know, something radical like...Jan 1st...:-) :-) :-)...Never mind actually getting it in time to send as a gift at Christmas...
Plus the fact that, as it turns out, though I bought private copies, I was clearly in such a pre-Christmas spin last year, that even if anyone had been relaxed about the start-date...I never actually put the calendar properly for sale in my shop last year. (Basically, the lovely flowers floated sadly in a kind of no-man's land internet ether...).

But...
Having bought those private copies however, I can confirm that this really is a lovely thing. Which, finally, and updated to start on Jan 1st 2025, you actually have a chance to buy now in my online Zazzle shop, in plenty of time, both for Christmas, and the start of 2025...
On that note, and hoping that this tale of my own complete and unwitting ineptitude has made you smile, whatever your stance on calendars... I'll take my leave.
Thanks so much, as ever, for being here, and for reading down this far.
