@spot555 No it isn’t, an internet photo. I used to have one & changed it out for a more shade loving plant — ‘Pistachio’ hydrangea.

Go to the site "Plants by Mail", & search for Nandina "Obssession". It's an evergreen, & this particular variety has the red color more often throughout the year. I bought one last summer....grows fairly fast, is more compact than other Nandina's, & I love it!
I love my nandina's also. I have a lot of them - different varities.
I'll have to look up that "Obssession". That may be one if don't have.

Will do @Lilysmom when I get onto the desktop. I think I photographed in bloom one or two years ago. It doesn’t get too large (mine is about 2’ X 2’).

@JustJazzmom , I bought a baby one at a clearance. I think I paid $5 for it. It has had good growth and nice foliage but no flowers yet. Interested to see yours.
I did about three hours of yard work today, in some cases moving chunks of ice to get at grasses to cut back 🙄. It was 6C (42 F) today. LM

Here is the plant (I believe I took this the 1st year [August, 2014] in bloom) and a close up of a bloom.
Taken between June & July 2015.

My pistachio bloom is a very deep rose color with a bluish throat & some lime green. When I use Espoma Plant Tone fertilizer, the colors pink & red get really intense. It even made one of my deep purple hydrageas a deep rose color. It was gorgeous, but I wanted the purple for variety. Last spring/summer I used a different fertilizer, so this should be a color-transition year.....can't wait to see what I get.

I like the lime green in the bloom. Interestingly this plant in the UK is called. Glam Rock. This plant is supposedly not sensitive to pH changes in the soil. I fertilize my shrubs in April with the same fertilizer you use.
