Another fine addition from brother Tim, this is the Scorpion Senna that I planted in the brick bed next to the front porch. I would guess I’ve had this plant at least fifteen years. It grows as a leggy, twiggy shrub that has delicate pinnate leaves and brilliant, clean yellow flowers.
I cut this shrub back hard after flowering–down to 3-4 feet tall. It wants to soar a lot taller than I can accommodate which creates a bit of tension, but we’re muddling through.
Here are some photos of the flowers and plant taken today.
For 2020, my biggest effort will be to whack this strong grower back so it can branch out and bloom well again next year.
