Scotch Broom/Cytisus scoparius

Cytisus scoparius (syn. Sarothamnus scoparius), the common broom or Scotch broom, is a perennial leguminous shrub native to western and central Europe.In Britain and Ireland, the standard name is broom,but this name is also used for other members of the Genisteae tribe, such as French broom or Spanish broom, and the term common broom is sometimes used for clarification.In other English-speaking countries, the most common name is Scotch broom (or Scot's broom);however, it is known as English broom in Australia.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These I took shots of in Cave Junction, Oregon. It is real pretty flowering shrub but considered invasive taking over local fauna and flora.
