Bogturtle's Garden- October 2125
Two female Ilex verticellata are loaded with berries, and, unfortunately, the Robins that will move down from Canada and Northern States will get them all. The berries will not decorate bare branches for Christmas. Both shrubs are named clones of the Winterberry Holly. The red is a dwarfer clone called I. v. 'Sprite' and the yellow I.v. 'Harvest Gold'. I think the necessary male, that provides the pollen, is in the corner of the house, nearby.
This silver leaved clone of the Cyclamen hederaceae should show its white flowers in Spring and be evergreen. Only one of several that were here among the Violets in the lens shaped Rose bed just outside this additions windows. Some plants are particular regarding soil pH and some don't seem to care. But finding out which really are fussy is not always easy. This soil is usually acid, so that might be why the other two Cyclamen corms did not survive. They can grow the size of a dinner plate, apparently.
