It’s a Holly Jolly Christmas
I took this photo at the beginning of October. It’s of my Holly bush.
The holly (really a male and female Prince and Princess Holly planted together) is planted in the back corner of my garden. I can’t say that it’s grown much in the four or so years that it’s been planted there, but it’s healthy and flowers then produces lovely red berries each Autumn. I think the holly has only grown about half a foot since I planted it. At this rate it will take 20 years to reach a decent height!
Looking out into the garden from my kitchen window I can see that there are still red berries on the Holly. I guess the birds haven’t eaten all of them yet. Perhaps I’ll bring the camera outside later and take a photo of the Holly with a little snow on it.
I hope that everyone has been enjoying the holiday season and I wish you a Happy New Year!

Lovely photo you’ve taken there, very good composition. I wondered if you would be interested in setting up a blogroll exchange between our blogs? Thanks for your consideration.

I’ve always loved Hollies, but never had one. My birds would appreciate me trying one I’m sure!

Okay, stupid question time, but how do you know if a holly is male or female?
