Title: Bees were all over this bush today
Post by: Bamabww on March 07, 2014, 09:27:35 pm: They weren't getting much but they were covering it up. We're not sure what kind of bush this is either. Anyone have an idea?

Post by: Bakersdozen on March 08, 2014, 07:15:57 am: Mahonia aquifolium. Oregon Grape. If it gets pea size purple berries from those blooms, it's Oregon Grape.

It is some kind of holly and the pictures are stunning. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Dave, I believe that's it. Appreciate all the compliments on the pictures. My first time to use my new iphone 5S camera. Looks like it's gonna be all right.
