Hi People, can someone please tell me the name of this flower? I have
uploaded it on my sitewww.rent-a-cloud.comunder 'Greencards' It's at
the beginning, yellow and named 'Wildflower' Visitors to my site ask
me for identification. I would be grateful for your help. I found this
flower on bushes north of Sydney, Australia. I do not know if it is an
Australian native. (My site is NOT commercial. It is my hobby for
videoclips and greeting cards of nature, free for personal use).
Thanks for your help - Klaus


You might try looking at _Pultenaea_ species. Several of them native
to eastern Oz look a bit like your pic.


Over on uk.rec.gardens, Pultenaea juniperina was suggested. Also Eutaxia
obovata (but supposedly the leaf shape is wrong) and Daviesia
ulicifolia.

Thanks for your reply Stewart. I followed a suggested lead and found
that the photos of Aotus genistoides seemed to be the closest match.
With much appreciation for your help - Klaus
