Mahonia Charity....before the atrocious weather!!

Pretty mahonia... I hope the wet weather hasn't damaged it too much ...

Really lovely plant...shame about the weather Dd....

Despite the forecast, Bracknell and west London have had light drizzle instead of downpours - phew!!

Lucky you Andrew, it has been awful here, shall be pleased when it blows itself out.
Motty Mahonias are such useful plants in the garden..
Thanks TT I have not had chance to check it yet, but they are tough plants...

They are indeed. Mine still has it's flowers.

Dotty ... the forecast for tomorrow (Monday) is for even stronger winds and heavier rain ... ground is saturated here already and lawn is covered in fallen Cordyline leaves ... :o(

They are tough Dd......wouldn't be without mine now, it really lights up a shady corner.

I really love the smell of the flowers, they remind me of lily of the valley perfume. I hope it survives all the rough weather.

I love all the Mahonias and wish I had room for them in my new much smaller garden !

Rose - if you search for 'Marvellous Mahonias', you will find a blog I wrote a few years ago about various members of the family. There are several smaller ones, suitable for smaller gardens

Rose Andrew is right, there are some smaller varieties..
Thanks all for your comments.

Thanks Dotty and Andrewr, I shall have a look !

I really like the Mahonia's as they seem to grow well here on the shadey side of the garden and under the tree's. I didn't know that the flowers had a perfume will have to investigate... although the scent may have faded by now as they've been in flower for some time.
