Japanese Mahonia

This is 'Hiiragi-Nanten' or Japanese mahonia. The botanical name is Mahonia japonica. The Japanese name comes from two plants: 'Hiiragi' which has similar leaves as this and 'Nanten' which has similar fruits as this.

FYI:
'Hiiragi' is holly olive, and 'Nanten' is doghobble.







Honestly speaking, these pictures were taken long time ago in June (^_^;;;
