Berberis otawensis.

looks nice does it have thorns ,

Good capture Katarina. I have it as well.

This is a lovely Berberis! I shall have to research this!

Yes, it is thorny bush, used as natural fence.

No good then, had enough of thorny Berberis pretty though.

It's a pretty picture Kat.

It's a great picture! I looked this plant up and it's a pretty bog-standard Berberis, but in this picture it looks really beautiful! :))

Thank you, Scottish. Cottagekare@I think that it is very different from standard Berberis. I have standard bushes in a cluster, too. This one - is much higher, is nicely bowing from the top to the ground, its leaves are larger, blue-purple and flowers are very decorative in the spring, while standard Berberis have them very small. It is question of preferences.
