The color variant Fig. 33 to 40 is the sort 'Andreanus Splendens' that can be bought in nurseries. I found the small shrub in a small wood not far from a settlement next to several branches of normal Scotch Broom. I don't know whether the plant was thrown out of a garden, or whether a bird brought the seed, which is probably true-to-seeds, from a garden. | ||
