Another tree of the genus Ilex. There are over 600 different holly species, this one has leaves that feel as if they were made of lacquered cardboard.
Nice details of the Ilex. I can almost feel the sharp edges.

@Frankie: I was amazed how sticky these leaves felt. A very peculiar plant. Next time I'm there I'll try to get some seedlings.
ok ....very nice

@mosleh: Thanks! Holly trees are very beautiful, and this one was very special.
I think it can be a good abstract too

@Porcsin: I loved this plant, too. Too bad I didn't find it in nurseries, yet!
