quicko: gingerbread summer

Awhile ago I cleared up the confusion regarding when Australians make gingerbread houses (Christmastime, not winter), but, having just witnesses upwards of 40 Australians make gingerbread houses, I can state that many (shall we roughly put it at 20%?) included some form of flower design on their house. These designs were gorgeous and lovely and ... summery. So, yes, they do make gingerbread houses in December, and, yes, they put "snow" on top, but, no, they are not restricted solely to conifers.
