That's really beautiful!

My holly bushes by the house do not have berries. I've heard that there are male and female versions, but only one (I can't remember which) has the berries. Apparently I have the "wrong" one. :-/

That is really beautiful. It looks like it could be a holiday card!

Female has the berries. If you think about it a minute, it will make sense: female = major responsibility for physical reproduction. (Not being snarky, just the way biology classifies things in general.)

I don't know why, but that picture is the first time in years that I have looked at any representation of holly without lots of cranky memories. Thank you, wlotus.

I was thinking it was the female that had the berries. Isn't it a male oak tree that produces the acorns, or something crazy like that? I need to brush up on my biology. :-P

And no, not snarky at all. That's the way it is!

Y'know, I don't know how it's possible that I have like eight holly bushes beside my house, and every friggin' one of them must be male (or sterile), because I've never had one single berry in four years. :-(

I particularly like the waterfall pic. I love autumn.
