The plant is Mahonia repens, not Mahonia aquifolium. The two are considered separate species; they readily cross pollinate to produce hybrids of varying fertility. Most of named and awarded ‘aquifolium’ cultivars from Europe are apparent hybrids between aquifolium and either M. pinnata and/or repens. The ecology of wild populations of these three species in their natural habitats is quite different from each other.

Very nicely written. In October my wife and I spent 20 days with 14 of our friends floating the Colorado through the GC. It was our third and second trip respectively in two decades. One which we both have waited 15 years for our permit to do again. The wait was worth it. We are pretty sure it was our last trip, unless the Colorado flows free.
