Garden Pic Wednesday: My Oakland Holly & Dwarf Iris
Couple months ago, this Oakland Holy was in a pot; now it's in the ground. It's just in front of where the Cedar tree we had cut down previously was. The stump grinder guy from the tree cutting company very kindly used his machine to dig a hole for me just for the Holly. It seems happy enough. It's blooming. I guess it has berries year round. I saw these Dwarf Iris at the Commissary last week and just had to have them. They were only $3 for the pot and it has 6 bulbs in it. What a great deal! I intend to plant them among my miniature Daffodils in the the back bed, where they can naturalize that area together. Last, I have a collage photo of my most recent project: repainting my range hood! I just finished painting it today and it came out beautifully. The exhaust fan itself is in excellent condition. Even the bulb is the original from 27 years ago, because I use it so seldom. It's just the exterior that looked crummy. It got crummy look...
