Inkberry – Ilex glabra

We planted several plants inkberries and this one’s the happiest. I love how the bluish tint of the lambs’ ears picks up on the water and the blue sky. The lambs’ ears are not native, however, they’ve been a huge help to fill in spots and prevent erosion on the dry, sandy slope where the junipers haven’t had a chance to fill in yet. To their right, upslope, is a patch of highbush blueberries.
