Title: Plant ID
Post by: KenC on April 05, 2017, 03:17:14 PM

Can someone help with the identity of this small shrub?   I grew it from Halda seed about 15 years ago.  It blooms mid spring, always less than 1 foot tall and around 2 feet wide after many years.  It is has been a wonderful plant that has gently seeded around.

Coronilla?

The picture is beautiful but fuzzy, honestly I cannot distinguish well the foliage but it doesn't seem a Coronilla.
It could be a Genista as well. A lot of 'could be' without clear images...

Sorry, I didn't look after I downloaded the image.  The original offered more detail but I see now it is not very clear.  Plant is still under some snow but I will see if I can get a close up of the foliage.

Here are some new photos that I hope show more detail.  Thanks to all who try to identify this plant.

It looks to me rather like kidney vetch - Anthyllis vulneraria - but the leaves are not quite right I think. The leaves look more like bird's foot trefoil, Lotus corniculatus - but not that flower! Super looking plant anyway. Good luck in your search.
