It is beautiful. Rob is right @karvelis It is an Australian Native plant Jacksonia scoparia commonly known as dogwood. It is a pea family plant. Not an American plant. Strange as this may seem we do have our own native plants, ha ha.
There seems to have been a rather spirited discussion on the identity of your plant. I am used to seeing what we call dogwood in Canada but your dogwood is also quite beautiful, although very different. @karvelis should be a little more respectful, rudeness is uncalled for on this site
I bow to whatever you call it, it obviously a sore point with some. Dog wood in Australia but known as broom over here in the UK. I have sold hundreds known as broom when we had a garden centre over 50 years ago. It’s still very pretty and dainty. And both are correct!!
@cdcook48 Hi Chris. I'm so sorry that all of this has evolved from a simple photo of a flower. It is so unpleasant and unfortunate that this person has appeared on the scene. I'm afraid i don't know how to block his views or comments and I am extremely annoyed that he has used my project to hurl insults at you. My hope is that he will disappear if I do not engage any further with him. Please accept my sincere apologies. Kind regards Rob
Hi everyone. Firstly, thanks for your interest in this simple plant photo. Secondly, sorry about all the confusion re its name. I guess we all realize that common plant and animal names vary widely from region to region and this was just a good example. And finally, an apology. I did not realize that replying to one particular comment would precipitate such a series of unfortunate responses aimed at myself and at other people. I don't know how to block a person from seeing my project and have therefore decided to just use a policy of no response to any further comments from this person. I hope that will eventually make him disappear from the scene. Thank you all for your support. Kind regards Rob @ludwigsdiana@illinilass@annied@ankers70@onewing@pusspup@briaan@wakelys@joansmor@mubbur@sangwann@congaree@clifford@photographycrazy@mittens@craftymeg@bkbinthecity@taffy
Hi Rob and Merry Xmas. So sorry that you have had to deal with unpleasant negative comments. It's the first time I have heard such rudeness on this site. Cheers, Suzanne
@ankers70 Hi Suzanne - thanks for your Xmas wishes. And I hope you also have a lovely time with family and friends. I must admit I was also a bit stunned by what unfolded - but hopefully it's all been and gone now. It was all so unnecessary - strange really. All of the other truly delightful people on this site make it a joy to be a part of. I'll look forward to seeing more of your lovely photos in 2024.. Cheers Rob
