{Our Leatherleaf Mahonia Berberidaceae (barberry Family)}


  • On December 19, my husband Pieter took these sunny pictures from our Leatherleaf Mahonia Berberidaceae (barberry Family).  
  • We did receive this once as a little plant, from a dear friend in Atlanta, and it has thrived near our creek. A very nice ornamental evergreen shrub. Click on the above hyperlink for more info.
  • Leatherleaf is a perfect name for this evergreen shrub!

  • Zooming out to give you the total picture of the shrub...

  • That was our Leatherleaf Mahonia Berberidaceae...

  2. Oh what a treat to have flowering shrubs during December. As you know here our winters are snow filled (though not too much snow this year). These really are lovely... and you took them on the 19th (my BD). Thank you for sharing these photos, seeing your wonderful garden citizens .. is making me dream of spring when our gardens will spring to life.

    Thank you for your sweet comment on little Dolce. Stella is camera shy and very anti-doggie clothes :)... wishing you and Pieter a lovely day. xo Celia (HHL)

    P.S. so happy you received your card and yes... we must have been sending them to each other at the same time..:) blessings, xo

  3. Mariette...There is nothing alive in our yard or garden. The Oklahoma sun from last summer killed nearly everything when we had water rationing for lawn care. I'm so happy to see something living and thriving in your area. A blessing~

    Love you girl...just beautiful!

  14. Een plant die je hier ook veel ziet.
    Op de Stuersstraat stonden ze in de groenstrook. En hier staan ze aan de overkant van de straat!

    Fijn weekend alvast.

    Liefs nichtje Thea ♥

  15. Your Mahonia looks great. Don't you love seeing it bloom in Jan. and then it gets those lovely blue oval shaped berries on it? We have two and I like seeing them in winter. We also have a Daphne odora which is so fragrant. I need to see if it's blooming.
    Have a great weekend,
    Babs
