Mike and Betty came over for Christmas dinner, bearing ham and sweet yams and Martinelli’s sparkling pomegranate cider. Quite the revelation. I brought in blooms from Grandmother Camellia for the dinner table in a cobalt blue bowl. Eucalyptus and pine greens filled the standing vase, supplemented with bayberry, cotoneaster stems and berries and Saint John’s wort from the garden.
