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

It the plant poisonous? I thought it was only the seeds.

 

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh yes, the plant is very poisonous. Not just the seeds.

[MrArboc]

Oh.

Good to know!

 

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes, be careful of pets and children.

Here's my Bay Laurel tree today...

I love the red stems...

Once you've tasted the leaves fresh from your own tree, you'll never go back to store-bought ones again.

By the way...


Here are some Acer Palmatum (Japanese Red Maple) seedlings that took me six months of cold stratification in my fridge to germinate...

This one is my most prized seedling so far...

Ciao Hollyberry Lady-

Good to see you posting again. We rescued 4 kittens last Easter from a wood pile next door to us and kept them all. I'm glad I didn't end up getting the Cappuccino Lilies because I would have had to dig them up and get rid of them. All members of the Lily family are poisonous to cats. I love that Beautyberry bush you have, though. I'll have to do some research on that one!

 

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks Sorrellina! Yes, that Callicarpa 'Amethyst Beautyberry' shrub is a knock-out, isn't it? I'm so in love with it. Hope to be able to supply a few friends some cuttings this Spring. So many people want some - just hope I can keep up with the demand and not have a twig left!!!

I ordered that shrub from another province, via mail order! It grew like crazy. Actually I have two shrubs total.


Here are my blue cornflowers today, blooming in my living room window...
