Mistletoe has WHITE berries, not Red, so I put Holly, though the leaves are mistletoe!

A number of newish smooth leaved holly. Have a large one in rear garden and variegated prickly holly in front garden.

Yes definitely first answer is wrong. That’s Holly not mistletoe. Hopefully everybody gets two entries.

No, those are mistletoe leaves, definitely not holly leaves. Apparently, some mistletoe is known as red berry mistletoe and has red berries. I put (red berry) mistletoe to be safe.

I was totally wrong, I did think first mistletoe but I took the other discs into consideration and out advent calender. Now I know it was the only big disc I hope at least i got Today’s right. I’ll see tomorrow. Still a fun game to do.

I wrote Christmas Wreath. The picture looked like a combination of two Christmas plants – Mistletoe and Holly, which I thought could be combined in a wreath. I am clearly thinking too much!

It does, if we’re thinking of the same thing. The one with red berries has prickly leaves.
