What is this gorgeous yellow shrub? | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

I have admired this on my twice daily walks now for two weeks. It is located in the front yard of a certified Atlanta Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary.

Yep, Laura is totally correct. I never think of broom. Good call, Laura.

Maybe something in the broom (Cytisus)? Check out on the cultivar Cytisus x praecox ‘Allgold’ from the included link below. Click on images to enlarge. Best wishes! https://www.monrovia.com/plant-catalog/plants/1049/allgold-broom/

Looks like Baptisia tinctoria. Yellow wild indigo. It’s hard to tell without leaves, but look at Pic and see what you think. http://www.newmoonnursery.com/plant/Baptisia-tinctoria
