**Here are the flowers which have been used to illustrate the section of the weekly [Scottish Newsletter](https://web.archive.org/web/20210421085948/http://www.rampantscotland.com/letter.htm) which includes the photos of flowers and other plants taken during the month of December.**

 **This illustration of December flowers in Scotland is of heather growing in a pedestrian precinct on the outskirts of Glasgow. The fact that it is still flowering so well at this time of year demonstrates one reason why this versatile plant is so popular. There are varieties which come into bloom at different seasons throughout the year. **

** In the dull days of winter, the bright evergreen (and cream!) foliage of this Eunonymous shrub is very welcome to lighten the gloom. This type of plant is becoming increasingly popular as it provides a splash of colour throughout the year and there are a number of different varieties. **
