    Unknown shrub, years overgrown with ivy, found at the back fenceline of our new property...may be cultivated, may be native or wild being as we have a great deal of that also. Zone 9 / Sunset zone 17, far northwest coastal California. TIA.... I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....." The Urge for Seeds is Strong in This One..... |

| Sherry, are the flowers bi-colored or solid yellow? I garden for the pollinators. |

| Solid yellow, Tee. I'm going to check the natives for this area. It does not look to warrant being cultivated unless it's for scent and I don't detect a direct scent. There is a very noticeable sweetness to the air here that I would like to pinpoint, smells a lot like Sweet Mellilot. I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....."

| That does look like a likely match. The leaves look right. I'm having a difficult time seeing the blooms but they look right as well. I garden for the pollinators. |

| Thanks, tee....it is the Twinberry...and says it's valuable for wildlife and I would agree since a Hummer was visiting it at the same time as I was. I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....." The Urge for Seeds is Strong in This One..... |

| I found my reading glasses and have had a better look at the flower. lol. Does it have a scent then? That's so cool about the hummer! I garden for the pollinators. |

| I don't find a direct scent....yes, happy about the Hummer since I need to plant a lot here for the Hummers. I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....." The Urge for Seeds is Strong in This One..... |
