Florets - Floral Quote by Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo of Studio Choo

"When the Ilex bush loses its leaves, branches filled with dense clusters of red berries are revealed, a welcome sight as the first frost begins to set in. Ilex holds its fruit a ways into winter, providing the woodland birds a nice light snack (they are toxic for humans and some animals). Since Ilex (also known as winterberry) can sometimes be devoid of foliage, add a fan of redwood and some holly leaves around this merry bunch."
