Hi guys, need help to Id this wild shrub or maybe tree. It has unique leaves shape. and the flower are striking yellow. I don't know where it come from as I didn't plant any.It also bear some pods, if anybody interested. yellow flower ( photo / image / picture from Djardin's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Djardin's Garden ) seed pod ( photo / image / picture from Djardin's Garden ) Thank you..[/img]
Rattlebox is a common name I encountered ID'ing a Crotalaria I found roadside last fall but if memory serves, they're an annual legume. There are several Crotalarias, sorry, I wouldn't know which this is. Maybe there's a tree kind? Those pods definitely rattle, a cool weed, IMO.
Thanks purpleinopp.. I've googled Crotalaria, but haven't found exactly like mine. This one are medium-large sized, compare to from what I've searched. I tried to shake the pod, but didn't hear any rattle. definitely going to save the seeds. just in case I need to plant some Thank you again..
Glad to try to help. I'm not sure the pods in the picture have ripe seeds yet. Someone else recently asked about just the pods, and theirs looked ripe. To test, open one. The seeds inside should be black, hard, shiny. Big black seed pods
