Spring Flowers at Laughing Fox
Spring Flowers at Laughing Fox Farm. The irises and Nellie Stevens holly have been here since before we owned the farm. I planted the tulips and pansies. What I have learned is that irises loved to be thinned out, pansies are annuals, tulips have to be fed to produce flowers, and the holly tree just thrives on its own. I had to feed one of the three hollies one year. I sprinkled about 10 lbs. of bone meal around it one spring and again in the fall. I fed it because the leaves were turning yellow. Hollies go through a molting period when some of the leaves turn yellow. But that time the yellow leaves were about to outnumber the green ones. The tree is doing great.
