I have always loved nandina and have one of my own.  How I found it in a ditch in Red Bluff, California, is a story for another time.  It is not (yet) as incredibly amazing as this one in my neighborhood that Kobe loves to sniff out.  Nandinas are always doing something interesting — blooming, leaves turning red, bursting out in red berries.  I have never seen one with as many berries as this one.
