I don't know if it's dry season or heat stress, but some of my oregon grape leaves are a bright red, they are a nice splash of color

An Oregon grape sparkling water. Interesting flavor, this berry seems to give me a slightly odd sensation, it's beyond the flavor, it's almost like a very light buzz, it's so light I almost think I'm imagining it but I don't think I am. Flavor is a kin to blending up grass and mixing it with sparkling water and drinking it

I missed documentation on Oregon grape flowering, they make a nice yellow flower in spring. I collected some seed today to see if I can't grow a few more out, they make a good evergreen border.

Eaten off the tree they have a powerful flavor, the juice is a deep red. I find the flavor interesting but is too much for me. I think it could make a potential flavor enhancement in cooking/beverages, and I might play a little with that.
