    Picture 1 is Mahonia japonica.

    Picture 2 is an Acanthus, probably Acanthus mollis. :dbgrtmb:

                            Yep, I agree, Jenny. I try to get some "atmosphere" in the Aquilegia shots as for some reason they "stir" my spirit and camera eye. Natural light without the Sun does seem to soften the image:hapydancsmil::coffee::snork:

                              My Clematis "Miss Bateman" seems happy enough at the base of my Acer Brilliantissimum along with a Clematis "Armandii"
                              [​IMG]
                              While the Clematis "Mrs George Jackson" has done well threading through Rose Masquerade due, I think to my training it lower and not allowing it to scramble to a great height.
