Notes:
This appears at random here in the mountains of Northern Georgia. Sometimes it has a yellowing or oranging color to it. The ones on my property are green. Now that the plant has aged a bit, it has a yellow bloom in the early morning hours. One of my neighbors staked theirs for support. What is this plant, please?

Is this a weed that I should cut it out?

I think I have two of these in the back border of my yard. I’ll have to take some pictures. Looks like a scary monster out of a scary movie. The ones in my yard are a good three or four feet tall!

This is a mahonia, often called Oregon Grape. The birds love the berries and the blooms are just now starting. Pretty yellow spikes that then turn into berries that look like minature grapes.

The birds scatter the seeds and they’ll come up everywhere. There are lots of natives that the birds love to feast on their seeds, so bypass this one.

Mahonia, Mahonia. They make a great border plant, but be careful of the stickery leaves. They bloom in the spring, and if you can get close to the blossoms, inhale deeply; they have a wonderful aroma.
