Thanks Ellen! We’re fortunate there’s a great variety of plants in Tapanui, always new things to discover, and lots of colour 🙂

I stared at that Darwin’s barberry for some time, trying to find the ‘orange.’ On my monitor, it looks to be a nice, clear yellow. Does it change colors, or is it named for the reddish stems? (Or, are my eyes worse than I thought?)

Fair enough Linda! Thank you. They look orange when you see them with another pest plant in bloom – broom – which blooms bright yellow and grows all over the place here.The more yellow appearance in my shot may be the result of light reflection from the little blooms. I did a quick online search just now and they are often described as orange-yellow so I think that’s probably the best descriptor, and one site also added ‘red-tinged’ to this, which is even better! See the photos on this page (from Auckland Council) ~very good header photo. https://www.tiakitamakimakaurau.nz/protect-and-restore-our-environment/pests-in-auckland/pest-search/berdar/

Oh — that is a wonderful photo of this beautiful plant. I agree that ‘red-tinged’ gets it right. It reminds me of yellow roses that have a reddish blush.
