Harbinger of winter

I think my Mahonia is starting to bloom a little earlier this year but it is heartening to know I will enjoy its yellow blooms well after Christmas

How do you know so much about plants? Have you studied botany or are you self taught?

[Heather]

This is new one for me. Like Cat, I'm amazed with how much you know about plants, Ian. (And it will be great to have blooms well after Christmas!)

Lovely shape to those stems.

[John Durham]

Can't wait to see it later in the season

A new to me plant, the flowers certainly are very beautiful. Looking forward to see more of them.

Nice capture almost star shaped. FAV

@catcarter19 @365projectorgheatherb, thanks for the compliments, my father was a keen gardener and I have followed in his footsteps, adding to my knowledge over the years from my love of gardening

Full of flower Ian hope you enjoy them for a while
