    I've got 2 hostas , one called Christmas Candy and the other Night before Christmas. 

    As they're herbacecous, there's nothing to see on either day.

    All of those heucheras named after food ( bred in usa, wonder if there's a connection ) key lime pie, creme bruleé chocolate ruffles, etc etc

    That's my problem. It's the heucheras and their Americanisms. They come hand in hand! Cherry Cola !!! Pah!

    I love that your Hostas don't exist on their big day! Brilliant! Christmas Candy sounds suspiciously.... West of here!

    Saw a,rose called Cliff Richards. By any other name it would have smelt sweeter. Didn't buy it.

    B3, OH is a painter/ decorator and you'd not believe the number of his clients with CR calendars. 

    I've heard his latest "single" on R2 , it's vomit inducing to say the least.

    I've heard salty water will induce vomitting with fewer unpleasant side-effects
