Broom (shrub)
Brooms are a group of evergreen, semi-evergreen, and deciduous shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the legume family Fabaceae, mainly in the three genera Chamaecytisus, Cytisus and Genista. These genera are all closely related and share similar characteristics of dense, slender green stems and very small leaves, adaptations to dry growing conditions. Most of the species have yellow flowers, but a few have white, orange, red, pink or purple flowers.

Wow, that is gorgeous!
Very lovely broom. Have a nice weekend, Peter.
This is a very sensitive-looking flower and brilliant in coloring. I wonder if it attracts a lot of insects...nice shot Peter.
Very lovely looking flower. Hope you have been well Peter.
