Pagan Eye: Mahonia Shrub in Bloom in Winter

This yellow Mahonia shrub, always cheers me up when I go into my garden in winter, as that's when it is in flower. Many years ago was a gift from my coven sister Bekie, who co-hosts The Witching Hour on the Witches Inn YouTube channel every Wednesday evening. 

When she gave it to me it was a tiny plant in a pot, but I planted it outside in my front garden where it's flourished. I took this photo on a wet, grey day and it looks lovely even covered in raindrops. I think plants are lovely gifts at any time of year, but perhaps more so in winter time.

What is your favourite winter-flowering plant?  Please leave a comment or, better still, send a photo!

My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting - seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.
