Spring is here - part 3 - Acacia longifolia
Oh yes... this one screams Spring to me like nothing else. Millions of bright yellow, fluffy flowers. And you should hear the busy buzzing around it. Bees are so happy there!

Acacia longifolia is native to Australia and is considered very invasive because of it's very fast growth habit. But it seems to be very happy here in Portugal too and there is a few of them very close-by. Mostly in unused areas so yea... nobody takes care of it and it grows as it wants to.
There is another one very alike, but with round pom pom like flowers. If you have a chance to see one, touch (and smell) the flowers. So soft and fluffy! :)

See the mess? Now imagine a bush the size of bus all covered on those yellow blooms :)

Yay Spring is here!! Snow is lying on the floor here this morning so its not here yet! Love the photos!
We can swap :D I'd love some snow..
Hahaha ok! Its freezing here!
Lucky you! Here it is very cold and within the end of the week it should get even worst! I don't think my garden will like that. :)
Spring will come soon. Garden can rest a bit longer ;)
Acacias are such a magical tree, so many beautiful species here in Australia :-)
It's a pitty they are are weed there but it's nice that you appreciate them!
Yes I do! Especially when they look like this :)
Pretty sure they it is annoying though for gardeners when they start sprouting everywhere..
That grows all along the coast here including in my backyard. One of my favourite plants for finding insects on.
There was so many bees on this one, but I couldn't get them. Too windy, too much yellow fluff and they were too fast.
Acacia honey is great for your health!
Yes it is :)
Pity I only see rosemary honey here at some local markets.
