One such member is the Red Leaf Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea) found in Untergroningen, Abtsgmuend, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Its vibrant red leaves add a striking contrast to any landscape. In Germany's lush forests, the Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium Nutt. Donewell) thrives gracefully. This evergreen shrub showcases clusters of bright yellow flowers that eventually transform into beautiful blue berries. A true spectacle for nature enthusiasts. Another variety of Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium Nutt. Donewell) graces Germany's landscapes with its presence. Its glossy green foliage acts as a water-repellant canvas for rainwater droplets to coalesce upon during autumn showers. The Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica), adorned with vibrant fruits, adds an ethereal touch to gardens worldwide. With its delicate branches and fiery red berries, it symbolizes both grace and abundance. Venturing into Italy's Dolomites in the Italian Alps reveals the European Barberry (Berberis vulgaris). In autumn, this enchanting plant displays leaves in hues ranging from golden yellows to deep oranges while bearing fruit that complements its stunning foliage. The Japanese Mahonia (Mahonia japonica), depicted beautifully by Maddalena Lisa Mussino in her 1858 watercolor painting belonging to Berberidaceae family showcases intricate details of this captivating species' features. Francesco Peyrolery's 1765 watercolor masterpiece captures the essence of another member within Berberidaceae - The European barberry (Berberis vulgaris). His artwork immortalizes this plant's unique characteristics through vivid brushstrokes and attention to detail.
