Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
After an eternity of waiting it's finally here!!
Sure ... after hearing for the past several months that I was going to get yet another and even more beautiful " Blue Princess" Holly from the Hollyberry Lady it finally came just today:woohoonaner: I have to say just as told that it is in fact much better looking in person and I just love it to death.... It will go in the ground tomorrow but , for tonight I think I'll just sit and gaze at it for a while..likely with a small touch of the Scottish holy water as a garden blessing for luck:  in addition there were a dwarf salmon colored canna, 3 Amethyst beautyberry plants started just for me and in addition a rooted cutting with some berries on it!:  also a dwarf pink hydrangea and a " Caerulea" passiflora that She's been growing from a cutting for me for the better part of a year!  I'll post some shots of this and the "Blue Boy" Holly in their spots in the ground tomorrow... but for now I'm just going to enjoy this for a while. I officially take back everything( ok most) of the things I've said about you publicly here as of now!!!:ha::ha: Seriously , Sherry I'm too thrilled to say . The Holly will be in the ground tomorrow and the rest will spend the winter in the heated porch/ greenhouse before getting planted outdoors in spring.. Thanks! |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
WoW Bob...it really looks terrific for you! :goteam:
It sure pays to mail Express Post in some cases...and this was one of them. I love it that it got there in four days! Quit making wisecracks about how long it took to send it. :ha: You know perfectly well that I was waiting for the berries to fully ripen and didn't want to interrupt the process. It took longer than I anticpated. You knew it would be yours though and that I always pull through....unlike some people! So glad you are happy about my belated birthday presents and hope you enjoy them to the fullest, Bob. I think my gift shows what I really must think of ya, even though I like to tease and be a smartass sometimes. No one else would ever get something like this out of me...and you know it! Enjoy! : ) |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Well, the Blue Princess is in the ground.
 the Blueboy is doing well also and is now rooted in reasonably well as fall is great for evergreens to do this here.  I'll be removing some bananas from nearby them soon and they'll be getting even more sun. Next year I'll just plant so they don't get as much shade as they've been getting now. The other plants are potted up and will be coming indoors tonight. Not the best picture with the bananas in the background but , you get the idea.  Thanks again Sherry!:woohoonaner: |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Everything looks just fantastic, Bob! Thanks so much for showing all your stuff I sent ya.
No doubt, you'll be enjoying both those Hollyberry shrubs all Fall & Winter long... : ) |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Took this sunny October shot this afternoon of my "Blue Princess" Bob, so you could see what she's like now, fully ripened...
 Lots of berries like yours! Notice the new growth shoots too?! : ) |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Beautifull Hollyberry, it's looking great. I'd go take a shot of mine but the wind today would take me away:ha:
|
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Soon we'll be showing our Holly shrubs with snow underneath of them Bob, when they look their most ornamental! :)
Took this shot today so you could see my "Blue Girl". She's a very young shrub but she's actually put on lots of growth for me this season...  It'll be nice to see your two again soon also Bob. I know you said they are doing very well for you. :08: Don't forget to keep fertilizing until the end of November... : ) |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
They're doing great Sherry and I'll get some pics of them this afternoon. I'll give them what will likely be their last fertilizing for the season today too....we've been getting on and off frosts the past few days but doubt I'll get a real freeze here till the end of the month or early Dec.. It's not too late to fertilize today right?
|
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Good Morning, Bob! :waving:
Nope, it's still cool to fertilize them today...I feed mine until the end of November. Can't wait to see your shots... : ) |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Here's my "Blue Girl" today, with only a few berries this year because it's establishing itself...

Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Thanks Kevin! :waving:
They've been my favorite since, forever. Any questions, feel free to ask them here. I forget what you wanted to know in that other thread... : ) |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Not my own pics but I found these shots this weekend and thought they were gorgeous...

Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
Here's part of my Holly by our backdoor that was completely covered under snow as of recently. I uncovered it a couple days ago...
 Took this shot of it today so you could see it, Bob. : ) |
Re: Thank you Hollyberrylady!!!!
A lot of our snow has melted so I thought I'd show ya my princess today, Bob...
  Here's my Blue Girl...  How are yours doing? I'd love to see shots... : ) |
