Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
You know, HBL, I've tried twice to grow the Himalayan Blue Poppy without success. They were from mail order plants, not seed, but I'm convinced I am jinxed.

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
I find them tough too Howard, even growing them from seed. The seedlings are very fragile and spindly at first. I use a mild starter formula to get them going. They can be doing just great then all of sudden die without warning. They are also extremely prone to spider mites so the small plants must be kept showered nearly daily indoors.
I just recently sprouted some more seeds, but here's is my best seedling you can see in this shot I just took today...  It's thriving, but it could be dead in two days from now! This is how sensitive they are. Although the pic doesn't give the true effect, the leaves are actually a bluish/green color and quite unique. I can't wait to see the blooms. I just hope it continues to do well when I put it outside in the garden... : ) |

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Here's my brand new seed grown 'black velvet rose' geranium about to bloom soon...
 The leaves have yet to turn black but will as the season wears on. Here too is my SDC pup taking off like crazy...  Thanks again, Bob! : ) |

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
My young Blue Princess Hollyberry shrub with a grafted Blue Prince branch, just before I prune it in a couple weeks. It's packing on some major Spring growth...
 Those are my dying back Hyacinth leaves beside the shrub. These Hollyberries have been intact since last Fall and haven't dropped yet...  New berries will develop soon and I'll show again later after pruning... : ) |

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
"Maiden Rose" Pelargonium beginning to bloom in the back sunporch this week. Took this shot today...
 My "Devil's Backbone" cutting that's thriving this season. Love the signature zig zag stems...  "Connecticut King" lilies thriving...  Freshly snipped "Amythest Beautyberry" cuttings. See the little flower buds already? My shrubs will be loaded with berries this season...  Guess what this is?...  Nope, that's not it, guess again! I'll give you a hint... It's produces edible fruits and it's from Beth. : ) |

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Nope, but a good guess Tony, and I can see why you picked it but it's not a passiflora.
: o Another guess, or shall I tell you? Maybe this close-up will help...  It's going into my garden tomorrow... : ) |

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Good guess, but it's not coffee either. Ok, give up? It's a Tamarillo tree. It will produce fruits similar looking and tasting to tomatoes. Can't wait to try them.
Here's my blooming Easter Lilies this rainy morning...  Thanks for your good guesses, Tony. : ) |

Re: The Hollyberry Lady's Plants and Flowers
Thank you, Greg! Glad you enjoy the shots.
 Yup, a Pelargonium is a Geranium. Mine is called Martha Washington "Berry Swirl" and they survive great in a cold sunporch over winter and even bloom! I have three different kinds. Here's some green Hollyberries from my new "2 in 1" female "Blue Princess" shrub with a grafted male "Blue Prince" branch, eliminating the need for two shrubs! I have two already but bought this one for a friend. Said I wouldn't ruin the surprise by showing the whole bush until they receive it in the mail, but here's a few of the green Hollyberries...  They look like they'll turn red very soon... : ) |
