Sky pencil in blossom
Originally uploaded by croatoan_found.
As little else was accomplished, I thought I would share something new in the garden. As I ambled, I noticed that there were all these little white specks on the Japanese holly, "sky pencil" (Ilex crenata Sky Pencil). When I got closer I realized that they were little blossoms. Apparently, the sky pencil is an all female cultivar (didn't know that) and needs a male cultivar nearby for pollination.

Another thing on the "need to do" list.
