No parents were ever more mean (or more naive) than those of (may he rest in peace) Harry Cox. What a cross to bear for a young guy growing up. I would have changed my name.
Back to the topic...
We had holly growing wild in Washington when I lived there. I loved it! I love its shiny leaves.
Back to the derail: I used to have a gynecologist named Dr. Butt. When he got me all doped up for surgery, I told him he needed to change his specialty. He didn't laugh...prolly heard it a zillion times before, but the nurses did.
Re-rail...
This thread reminds me of a song I learned in high school choir...the holly and the ivy...la la la la la la,
of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly la da da. Wow. Flashback! But I think LAE is right...I think it is a bush, not a tree.
Belle... that's quite a few "ists" you've got there... AND you should plant pointy, painful bushes under your windows... they act as a discouragement to prowlers and burg-a-lers... unless...

I was a WOW in 1979 in Oregon. Our back yard was surrounded by holly trees. Tried to grow two of them here in Maine a few years ago but both died.

He introduced me to the Jesus freak group I was in before twi.
Coupla years after I met him and the group -- he married a woman named Maggie.
Their first child was a daughter --- and they named her ---

I went to school with a girl named Clearwater, and her brother's name was Ocean.
Her parents were artists/hippies in Ogunquit, ME.

If you grew some just for fun, would it be OK to say you have a Holly Hobby?
