Holly holly holly

I meant to post some pictures last month of the five feral holly plants in my yard, but when checking the trail cam one afternoon I discovered more. I was sidetracked by the holidays, and decided I’d check around to see if there were any others. Oh, my!




First found in December, 2019. https://moonhare.dreamwidth.org/2019/12/08/



These two were found shortly after. https://moonhare.dreamwidth.org/88715.html


I discovered this one maybe last year and transplanted it near to the garden shed.


This one is a bit beyond the dog’s back fence.


This was near the trail cam.

The next batch were chance discoveries, if anything is truly chance, when wandering and wondering if there were more hollies about. No snow in these pictures!








Aaaannd today I found two more (no pics) out by the garden! :o)

Edit: took pics this morning-




I don’t know if these are all American holly, ilex opaca, or something invasive. They were all planted by Nature, and there may be more. None of the ones originally discovered have flowered so I cannot tell if I have both sexes here. I may do more transplanting in the future.
