    I have this which has grown up next to an Oregon Mahonia in my shady garden in Vancouver. I am wondering if it is a common mutation, or what? It has been around for a couple of years.

    An albino mutation with no chlorophyll. It'll only be able to survive as a 'parasite' on a larger green plant, if you tried to propagate it separately it would just die as it can't photosynthesize.
