Windy day. I think we're finally heading into our (very few) cooler months, thank heavens.
This plant, known as coffee senna amongst other names, is growing wild on the side of the main road leading into Grand Baie. I think the flower is rather pretty, even though it's considered an obnoxious weed. It'll probably get mowed down by the municipality soon. There were a couple of yellow butterflies coasting around the flowers, but unfortunately, they didn't land, so I was unable to capture them. They flutter around so quickly.
Excerpt from Wikipedia, link below:
