I thought that this may be Mahonia Bealei, but Google's Lens says that it's Oregon ?

That is a beautiful plant. It is a Mahonia (genus changed to Berberis). I don't know which species / cultivar it is.
Oregon grape is one of the common names.

Looks like Berberis repens, Creeping barberry.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

Could be repens or aquifolium. I generally separate them based on plant size and habit.
Definitely not bealei.

Mahonia ...now sometimes moved to Berberis.
Not easy to name as there are so many that look very very similar.
Often the leaflets need to be counted.
Mahonia aquifolium is a good suggestion.
Mahonia japonica Bealei it is not as this has long flowering stems.

Mahonia Aquifolium was one identified this time last year round these parts, so it likely is ?
