A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Crotalaria spectabilis
dcslaugh, I liked photographing nature, and found the plant atlas site, and decided to email the botanist listed there. He said I could send photos, though I would not get paid, just get my name on the photos. The botanist later said that my photos helped save the site from being discontinued due to budget concerns.
Agreed, PhotoginTN! Thank you for confirming my recent suspicion. :)
Thank you everyone for commenting!!
Almost certainly Crotalaria spectabilis. When I lived in Florida, I contributed to USF's Atlas of Florida Plants. Here is a photo of Crotalaria spectabilis I took: http://florida.plantatlas.usf.edu/photo....
That wasn't supposed to be a positive ID- just a comment about how little can be determined from this shot. I have no idea what this is ... :-(
Petal arrangement looks wrong for Cytisus scoparius. I also don't think that it has been reported in Florida (yet).
Fabaceae for sure, but it looks a lot more like Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) to me than anything else. There's not really a size reference or any other parts of the plant shown to check, though...
