C'est quoi comme plante ?


I don't know what plant this is that's growing and flowering in our hedge near the back gate.
If you recognize it, let me know.

  1. I believe it to be one of the Mahonia family. We have a 20 year old one in the long border, flowers Jan/Feb here. Hope this helps. Pats🚜

  3. Yes. I have it at my back gate and several other spots. Had a lot of it in the back woods of our old house, too.

    Yes, this is Mahonia aquifolium, common name is Oregon Grape. It is the state flower. I read just now that officially it is now in the family of berberis, but commercial growers are still using Mahonia. It can be invasive.
