Mahonia Bealei

     Just a quick post on a plant which I have had for about 7 years now. This is called a Mahonia Bealei or Leather Leaf Mahonia.  My father introduced me to this plant and it is a big conversation piece in the garden all season long. I have given away offshoots of this plant and its basic use is for winter interest. Deer will not touch this plant at all.


























































In the below picture you can see the other Mahonia in the background. During the full growing season these plants fully blend in with the surrounding seasonal plants.

In the next two photos the flowers are opening up on March 22nd.
