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!
