I didn't realise there's a kind of holly in Asia!

Where we are in the Philippines, this kind of plants is very common, as it doesn't grow as much compared to England, most times it's just growing wildly in corners, along the path, or mixed with those planters that produce flowers. This kind is a favorite of bonsai peeps to play with as I've surely seen a few being displayed. Compared to the kind of holly in England, this variety have tiny flowers and leaves with sticky toothed edges. If not from those who are into bonsai, this plant doesn't get much attention compared to other flowery plants.

We only have one plant in the garden, fronting the terrace so once in a while I get to check its' flòwers and play with my Samsung. These shots though came about with @quochuy's contest i think from last Saturday. Thanks man for naming this cutie!

I can't make these flower shots any bigger, but I hope their cuteness shines through!

Check those dainty petals out! As they're tiny, try zooming in the images to clearly see the baby pink and white colours.

There you go folks! Here in Asia, we can also make our very own boughs of holly come Christmas.

La la la la la...

For mistle toes, let me check what can be probably used from our backyard.

All images were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S7.
