hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 06/08/2025 Clematis 'Tie Dye'! One of my favorites. 2354
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Water lotus, refections of sky, clouds and trees at hollypond. Lotus flowers seem to last only a few days, so I took one more photo for the archives. 0222
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Water lotus at hollypond. There have been 3 so far. Which boggles the mind because we don't know what we're doing.... 3161
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Water lily and lotus flower at hollypond. Our pond needs some fixing..a 4.6 earthquake last year weakened one side. We seem to have a fault line under our 1880's house! Big renovation/repair in the fall. ☹️ 4200
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Queen Anne's Lace. I'm trying to work on a pollinators' garden, so that means relocating the native plants. So far, so good with this one. Any helpful tips welcome. Thanks blueskyers! 5102
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 21/07/2025What did I get for my birthday? An elephant ear! With a branch of deutzia! 3110
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 18/07/2025The first lotus flower is now open for business at hollypond. Hope to catch a dragonfly visit if I'm lucky. Thanks to bksy friends for helping me with pictures, hopefully they are getting better. 7182
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 14/07/2025This is the first lotus at hollypond this year. Water and trees/sky reflections. No fish wanting a cameo (yet!) 1132
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Nothing fancy about Hakone grass until it blows gently in the wind. Then it becomes a flowing 'green stream' moving across the garden. The lighter color is from sunshine on the foliage. 392
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 08/07/2025It will be sizzling this week in NJ. I came across this picture of what I think is a bluebird family drinking from one of our snow covered ponds this past winter. A snowy blast from the recent past! 1110
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Redveined Enkiathus, a great companion for rhododendrons and azaleas. Thousands of bell shaped flower on a mature plant. 6131
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Kirengishoma palmatum (Yellow Wax Bells) a good plant for a woodland garden. 7161
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 06/07/2025This is my new puppy. He is a Havanese named 'OZZY' PRINCE OF BARKNESS! 3111
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 04/07/2025I'm not up for this 4th of July Independence? My plumbing blew up this morning 💩 The repair guy won t be here until tomorrow🥴 SO. Here is a good quote that I try to remember: "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.' Father James Keller Be safe and be the candle! 020
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 03/07/2025I know, I know, it's just another clematis flower (Clem. texensis 'Gravetye Beauty') But this is the first bloom in it's 7 year residence at hollypond. I feel like I just had a baby! (NOT !) 2111
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 03/07/2025The bottle tree in my garden....I looked at it yesterday and thought that the bottles of my favorite IPA beer might work as well as the colored glass bottles. Many of us are being pushed to our limit right now. But we have our 'tribe' and we know what needs to be done. Stay safe as you protest. 161
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Paeonia 'Julia Rose'... a tree paeonia new to the garden. Tree paeonia flowers are usually very big. My largest is 9" across. They are surprisingly tough and long lived plants. Hiding out in the hollypond garden today. Too much sadness in my heart for those who will suffer in the future. 152
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 30/06/2025A bee in flight over spiderweb purple blossoms. Holy Moly! A moving object makes it hard to get a good photo! Duh! Kudos to all on Bsy who take beautiful pics of things that can move out of your picture, fly away or stand behind a tree like Bigfoot! I salute you! 060
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 14/06/2025This 'head in my hands' garden gargoyle wishes all protesters protection and solidarity. Be safe friends. 081
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 14/06/2025This is a clematis from the Kivistic family of Ukraine. Its name is 'MiniSkirt'. I can't help but worry over the fate of the Kivistik family in a country under attack by Putin. I hope they are safe. 0142

hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 28/05/2025I found 2 antique wrought iron driveway gates on a trash pile. 16' total fit my front holly hedge perfectly. Mr. Lion is about to be obscured by a bunch of clematis blooms (Ville de Lyon.....of course). He's not happy... 1141
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' just starting to bloom. Another tough Victorian clematis. 0131

hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Rosa 'Alba Semi-plena' a rose going back to the 15th century. Symbol of the English House of York during the War of the Roses. Very free flowering and fragrant. A rainy day rose! 0111
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Hosta 'Great Expections' grows sooooo slowly but the colors on opening make it worth the wait. 4182
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Clematis Dorothy Bateman (again)...I do not deserve this plant! 091
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Clematis 'Multi Blue'...the new flowers look like tulips until fully open. 2122
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Clematis 'Belle of Woking', Hard to grow but well worth the effort. An old Victorian variety grown by the Jackmans of Woking, England. 011
hollypond.bsky.social @hollypond.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Very rare fall foliage of Acer palmatum 'Green Cascade' 041
