        I love that intricate structure of the physalis/lampion seed capsule. Has always fascinated me - ever since I was a child,

                Here is the Mahonia at Ness Botanical Gardens.. I'm sure it's a different variety to M. aquifolium, but it certainly looks like it is on steroids.

                Last year Mahonias had a beautiful lemony scent, but this year, they haven't had it, to my knowledge?

                Rusty that's a huge Mahonia, looks wonderful!

                Looks like Mahonia x media 'Charity' or 'Winter Sun' :)
