When we installed our pool, 12 years ago, we retained a landscape architect who specialized in native plants and plants that attract native birds and butterflies. One of the things he insisted upon was a holly bush, which was not something I was really looking for at the time.
The holly has prospered, and it does indeed attract certain birds. The berries are gree in the winter, turning red in the spring. In the past week or so, they have ripened into bright blue/purple, reminiscent of bunches of grapes. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2020/6/6/holly-berries FA 100 mm Macro F 2.8 Comments, suggestions and criticisms are invited and appreciated.
