Holly - llex Aquifolium

Holly, the latin name for which is Ilex Aquifolium, was one I found just outside Longford Park. The weather conditions were wet and windy. As the pictures show, the leaves have a glossy prickly nature, and the red berry's grow in bunches along the stem. Holly is an evergreen tree with shiny dark green foliage, and very strong prickles. The leaves are tough and leathery with a waxy upper surface.
