I love both the flowers and the fruits. Never saw this before,
It is native to western North America.
What fruits are they? They look like mangoes.
The common name of Mahonia is “Oregon grape”. Mango fruits are much larger, as far as I know. These are very small.
Both very pretty, went with the blue fruits.
Good choice! The flowers are nice but they do not have a pleasant smell!
My mom always had the mahonia in the garden. She added it to the bouquets of other flowers.
They are very decorative. I understand why your mom added them in the bouquets of other flowers.
