    Here ya go @Oreti
    Coluetes arborescens, Golden Rain, Bladder Shrub
    Bladder-senna is a hardy and adaptable shrub that generally requires minimal maintenance and I never water it. Drought plant an easy plant to care for. Key points in its care include ensuring well-drained soil, as it does not tolerate waterlogged conditions, and providing full sun to partial shade for optimal growth.

    Beautiful @Pacnorwest , would love to grow some blue ones but it would require soil adjustments here and then the upkeep put in to maintain the ph levels. Might attempt to one day.
    We have area a couple of miles away that obviously have the perfect soil requirements and walking past all the gardens with their stunning displays of blue hydrangeas is a sight to behold.......for someone drooling over them like me!!:chuckle:

    Pac— superb Hydrangea collection. Woah! Stunning.

    Zigs—A humble plant, a simple plant…but I love them very much. —and to their credit, they are not actually humble, nor are they simple; it is just that they can seem that way.
    Over the years I have grown many different types and now I do not take the time or exercise the pride of germinating them and planting them out in a specific place. No, now I have garden helpers— Tits. They take the seeds from the feeder and drop them; I suppose underway to a perch where they can peck them open in privacy.

    Have a look at this old link: https://www.gardenstew.com/threads/flowers-harvest-and-the-food-bank.12024/#post-111867

    My Bride offered the suggestion that they planted them on purpose; like a jay, but not to eat later, rather to grow them so that hey would have a big head of seeds in the fall. We had a good laugh…but hang on, truth is that we do not know what is going on in their leedl noggins do we. Just imagine.

    Well, I just accept what kind and how many I will get each year. I leave them wherever they come up, in the way or not…except in the veggie quads, of course.
