It's nice to know y'all enjoy the Barberry too, we all learn new something everyday, and it's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteDear Vuejardin, I like the leaves purplish-red. So charming. I have a similar looking plant in my garden. I like to have plants with purplish leaves. I love the colour. Yeah, gives excellent contrast with other foliages ;-)
