A complex hybrid Mahonia involving M nitens, M eurybracteata and others. Each flush emerges in sunset colors #mahonia #plantbreeding #ranchocistus #cistusnursery
Mahonia nitens - a stable form with growth emerging a warm gold then slowly fading to a yellow- green. Brighter in sun than these plants in dappled shade #mahonia #plantbreeding #ranchocistus #cistusnursery
Ceanothus lemmonii - a white-flowered (well, duh) form originally found by Brian Brown while Google searching habitat from aerial views several years ago #ceanothus #planthunting #californianativeplants #ranchocistus
Another nekkid Mahonia thought worthy of planting out last year - pale yellow new growth and surprisingly soft .. #mahonia #plantbreeding #ranchocistus #cistusnursery
Two versions of a hybrid Mahonia batch with spineless margins - liking this one better with each growth spurt.. but the golden isn't bad #mahonia #plantbreeding #ranchocistus Today's 90's really pushed growth
