A late spring walk in our greenways and wild areas will reveal lot of wildflowers blooming, attracting pollinating insects and hummingbirds. Dandelions, of course, are a common and easily recognizable example, but another plant, commonly known as Oregon Grape, is also an important food source for bees and butterflies. Oregon Grape, Mahonia (or Berberis) repens is a member of the Barberry family, which grows in the foothills, montane, and subalpine Life Zones and can be easily found in areas of high canopied pines. It is a low-growing, perennial, evergreen plant here in Colorado, has tough and toothy edged leaves, and bears clusters of bright yellow, slightly fragrant flowers in spring.
