Always good to see the green berries turn red on the holly bushes. The birds love these berries.
However, these berries are poisonous to people and pets.
Nature is amazing. I enjoy learning about all nature has to offer. Little things I keep saying, the little things.

I have never heard or seen the fruits. They look enticing and edible.
Yes nature is amazing and all around the world.
Good to see you my friend. I am immersed in nature right now. Good for the soul.
Lovely photo! Many pretty plants are poisonous.
Thanks, and you are right, it pays to research.
Biggest rule in nature, if it looks pretty be ware!
You are so right. It lures its victims in. 🙂
thanks! my favorite is the coral snake. I can never remember the rule, but I figure i see red and yellow on a snake I don’t care what order I am just booking it out of there!
Such lovely looking berries I am glad the birds can enjoy them.
Thanks, the birds do enjoy them.
This is really interesting and unusual. I didn’t know these berries were toxic either.
I love these hollies that are evergreen year round and then these berries are red so the birds can see them.
This is why it pays to do your research.
In the house where I work Holly Berry is also visited by various birds.
Oh that is good to know!
We have several varieties of holly’s.
