Cassia bicapsularis
Yellow flowers with 5 petals growing on a bush. They have an interesting curved stamen that changes color from yellow to brown.
Found at Morikami Japanese Museum gardens in Delray Beach, FL.
This is an excellent host plant for the Sulphur butterfly. It blooms in winter unlike its cousin the Easter Cassia which blooms in spring.
That was a really good tip. I researched Cassia a little more and since this was blooming in the late fall I am thinking it is actually a Winter Cassia (aka cassia bicapsularis) which looks pretty much the same but does not bloom in spring. What do you think?
