Berberis

Thanks Leuba - actually I never have seen Berberis in bloom...what's funny, because we had a Berberis hedge around our former home...

You're very welcome Lars. Your images always 'blow me away'

Only ever heard of these, never seen pics before. Beautiful despite the thorns. the petals look a little waxy - lovely photos Lars. thanks

You're a Spitfire, Viv - thanks again for ID :D

Thanks for giving a direction, Jeannette.

I think this is some sort of Japanese quince too but can't find anything on it...
