| I planted some old seeds I had from a Wildflower hummingbird mix and I got two of these plants this Spring. At first I thought they were Mimosa because of the leaves but now they have bloomed these cute yellow flowers. Does anyone know what they might be?

| Thank you seedmoney! I have an Audubon Guide to Wildflowers and also a Native Plants of the Northeast book but neither book covers it and I was so puzzled trying to figure out what it was. Is it Native to the South or the prarie states? Joann |

| Plants Profile gives a fairly accurate idea of native range of plants in the US. I find it by typing in the name of whatever plant I want, followed by usda. And notice I said 'fairly,' not 'totally'. |
