Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly
|
Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly <---- From the Holly in our back yard. Male and female holly flowers grow on different plants. Although the male plants never produce fruit, they must be grown near the female plants to provide the pollen needed for fruit production. The flowering of both female and male plants must be synchronized so the pollen is available at the same time the female flowers are open. If you want your hollies to fruit heavily, plant a male holly of the same species as your fruiting hollies so you can be assured that both male and female flowers are present at the same time. Male varieties have been developed that bloom at the same time as their female counterpart; one male plant can pollinate many female plants. Isn't that true. lol. Contact your local nursery to find out what the best male variety is for pollinating your holly. I didn't know nureries were in the match making business. Bees and other insects will do the work of transporting the pollen from male plant to female plant. Now what fun is that? lol Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la. See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. While I tell of Yule tide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la. I remember singing that as a . I also remember when I realized what "deck" the halls meant. And "don" we now our gay apparel. Do you know the opposite of "don" How many songs have we sung or do we sing that we don't fully understand. Ever listen closely to a song from your childhood and suddenly realize, with your grown up brain, what it is actually about? Have you started deck-orating? So here's wishing everyone a good start to the holiday season. SR  |

You are a wild man!!! I really enjoyed this post!!! I'm not decorating this year. Thought for a few minutes that I would, but I'm seem only to be home a few nights a week and only when it's dark - so not a good time to be on a ladder doing up the outside of the house and the inside is still in a state of disarray from all of the repair projects going on! I need to get some holly plants though and make some time to plant them so I can enjoy them next year.  Hugs and kisses {=}
