Hi there: I am located in zone 5b Campbellford, Ontario and dug this shrub out on one of my nature walks. It has very tiny leaves almost oval shaped it blooms small yellow pea type flower and when finished it produces a pod. Bark has slight greenish tinge. I think it is native shrub and some type of lotus. I see lots of them in conservations areas or growing in poor soil. Thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge sorry if the image is a little blurry Deborah
Hi Salt Cedar: Not sure if this is it or not. It gave me an idea however just googling your latin proper name. Which gave me a picture of the blossom and led me to further describe the flower on the shrub I am looking to ident. It has more a snap dragon flower if this helps. I appreciate your help.
Another possiblilty...Caragana arborescens http://www.nps.gov/akso/NatRes/EPMT/Species_bios/Caragana arborescens.pdf
Hi Saltcedar: Sorry I will have to capture that later in the season. Thanks so much for your input Regards, Deb
Hi Ron: Thanks so much for the help. I have to agree Siberian Pea Shrub. Once again thanks. I better write it down before my pea brain forgets. Have a great evening Regards, Deb
