The Hollyberry Lady's summer flower and plant peeks...

Speaking of Aurora, just took this shot right now - do you see why it's my favorite?!!!

: )

Here's my Calicarpa, "Beautyberry" perennial shrub, now that the berries are turning purple. The fruits last well into Winter...

Yep..it's stunning!!!(hope it tastes as well as it looks)

That Calicarpa has amazingly coloured berries. The pods on the Aurora are very inviting - I can hear them asking to be eaten

 

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, actually Aurora is one of the few ornamental/edible peppers that tastes awesome! Good heat too! I just love them, in every way.

Yeah, the beautyberry shrub is way cool, and it's a perennial, so it comes back every year! When frost hits, the leaves fall off, leaving the berries intact well into the Winter! It is so ornamental all Winter long.

Also too, cuttings root easily, to make new shrubs! I might try this in Spring time, and share some cuttings too.

Glad you guys liked the shots. Thanks.

I know I am obsessed, but now you can see orange on my Aurora plant too! A couple days ago, the orange pod was yellow...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh no - it couldn't possibly be another picture of that Aurora plant we've been seeing every day for the past week now, could it?!!!


Why yes, yes it is...

This is beyond obsession!

Lookin' good! Love the orange pods on the Explosive Blast - you'll have to let us know how they taste.

 

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I've grown them before, and they're pretty good, actually. I'll let ya know how this round turns out...

I wondered where you where!

What happened to the castor beans you planted? I just put 3 beans in the soil thanks to you, and I'm a little worried they will give me trouble because it's two+ months before thay can go outside.

 

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Unfortunately, the castor bean I was growing is no more! Intending on growing another shortly and putting it in the garden. I got nervous having a big poisonous plant like that indoors with Henry and all (my parakeet). Sure was fun to experiment though. Good luck with yours...
