Another garden shrub just coming out is this Mahonia.
According to the shrub book there are 5 different types of Mahonia but they all look the same in the book & I don't know which one this is!!!
I have just heard today at the hairdressers that there are two seals in the River Wyre in the next village. They are ten miles up stream & of course causing a bit of a stir so I might go & see if I can photo them in the next couple of days.
Unfortunately my Mahonia seems to have caught the frost this year, I have had it for 25years (the year my son was born) so bit of a shame. I love the Lily of the Valley like scent, yours looks very healthy.
