I have a "what is it" Q. We've been told it might be a Broom of some sort but I can't marry it up based on the pictures I've seen. Please bare with me whilst I figure out how to get some pictures on here.

    The brooms I've seen are looking just wonderful this year. Has there ever been such a year for blossom.



    But I wish the cold wind would b***er off!

    The garden opposite has a gorgeous creamy broom cascading over a low terrace - I've hardly noticed it before, but this year it's magnificent image

    Think it's Genista Canariensis, florists genista. Very pretty specimen.

    Dave, thank you. I've looked it up and I think you're correct.



    The were little pot plants my Mum bought for use at the cemetery and I planted them out once they were replaced.



    They are very bright and very yellow. image



    My Dad would have been pleased to have them growing 'over him'.

    Deep sigh. It would seem that gardening is not the only thing I'm not very good at.
