🎅 Dog refused to play Santa - her reaction says everything

🎄 Christmas moment

Mango the Dog really tried to be festive! The Santa hat went on, slipped off, went back on, slipped again...
She sat there looking guilty, like she personally ruined Christmas... We forgave her. Obviously.

🐕 Mango's Christmas story

Mango is a black lab - loving, gentle, and loyal to her core.
One cool November night, she showed up at our gate and stayed there all night, waiting for someone to come back for her. No one did. We tried to find her family with no luck. So Mango stayed with us at TopTropicals with our rescued #PeopleCats.

When we took Mango to the vet for shots, we discovered she was pregnant! Maybe that is why she was left behind?

Right before Christmas, on December 17, 2022, Mango gave us eight beautiful puppies. Some stayed with TopTropicals - Sunshine, Draco, and Lilo - and the others went to close friends. They still come back to visit, and every year we get a full Mango family reunion.

🎁 Sometimes the best gifts show up quietly, wait patiently, and never leave.
Happy Holidays! Hope Santa brings you what you want!

🌸 I wait all year for this vine to bloom!

It's this time of the year when beautiful Tecomanthe is opening her majestic blooms!
The New Guinea Creeper (Tecomanthe dendrophila) is a stunning, non-aggressive vine that will captivate with its vibrant blooms and lush foliage.

• 🌸 New Guinea Creeper, Tecomanthe dendrophila, is one of those plants that changes the whole garden when it blooms. Winter doesn’t have to be boring! In early winter through spring, it covers itself in large trumpet-shaped flowers with deep pink tubes and creamy white tips. The display lasts weeks, not days!
• 🌸 Unlike many flowering vines, this one is well-behaved. It climbs without taking over, stays glossy and evergreen year-round, and works beautifully on trellises, arbors, or strong supports. Butterflies love it, and people always stop to ask what it is.
• 🌸 A true winter show stopper for warm climates or containers!
