The message
from Stewart Robert Hinsley contains these words:

Oregon grape - with large evergreen leaves rather like holly, but
flatter. In the autumn, the leaves which will be shed go the colours of
a spectacular sunset, and the racemes of yellow flowers appear in the
winter and smell strongly, remeniscent of lily of the valley.

I assume you mean Mahonia x intermedia, not Mahonia aquifolium. In my
experience Oregon grape is restricted to the latter, and perhaps a few
related species (e.g. M. nervosa, M. pinnata, M. repens)

No idea which variety - I have one and use the 'grapes' for jelly - if I
remember to birdproof them in time.
