Mahonia


Mahonia is nearly out this morning. Those leaves look like they were made out of leather don't they?

I like the red spotty leaf on the right and Dorothy I have no idea why sheep eyes are different to cats but perhaps because sheep aren't cats ;o)

Thanks Frances. I think those are last years' leaves, I htink the new ones come after flowering...
It has always intrigued me about the eyes .. there must be some good evolutionary reason why it is so I would have thought.

Lovely Dorothy. You should know the answer D. You are the scientist, which is why you want to know of course!
