Holly

• Used when you feel you are not kind and understanding enough!
• You react easily with suspicion, you feel a sense of envy or jealousy.

Bach flower Holly comes from the holly tree, a plant particularly sought after during the Christmas season. Indeed, this shrub is full of vigour from November, and remains colourful and full of life until March. It is known for its thorny leaves with pointed tips. These can resemble small hearts, while the flowers, which appear during May and June, are a very pure white.

Holly is a slow-growing plant that can live for nearly three hundred years. While this shrub often measures a few tens of centimetres, it can sometimes reach several metres in height, notably by clinging to other trees. Very resistant, Holly can grow in shade or sun, and its persistent foliage makes it a symbol of strength.
