Whatzit?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Ok, so what and where is it?

Is it at or near your house like all my flower pictures?
Is it Family Fabaceae like so many of my pictures?

Got it: Scotch broom



My front garden has two flowering right now.

Beautiful to see, Rufus. You had recommended Scotch Broom to me as something I could plant in my deer-denuded yard that would not be subject to the deer destroying them.

I have had the Blue Spruce bushes, which you also recommended, planted, and they seem to be going along unmolested, whatsoever, by the always-passing-thru deersumbichez.

These brooms grow almost like weeds in their enthusiasm - we hacked a garbage bag out of them last year and will do so again after they are done blooming. I was very pleased to be able to get these two variegated colors vs. the plain yellow.

The white azaleas are about to bloom; red and purple are done, pink will be out in a week or so. The bright orange one has almost finished, but the 2 dark orange will be out in a few day. The bright yellow died off a few years ago and I've not replaced it. The purple rhododendrons are starting to open up as well. The cherry laurel is looking good. The white irises are blooming in force, too!

So what veg do you think it is then?

Anthers?

It also sort of looks like a closeup of one of my daughter's dog's toys. He gets a bark box every other month and it features a chew toy with a theme. My favorite was the Shakespeare one with a "ruffed" collar and an inscription "To pee or not to pee".

I can't tell if this is organic or inorganic. The "fuzz" kind of reminds me of tennis ball covering.

An angiosperm's Stamen, then, with Anthers, loaded with a production of pollen on the tips, now in the foreground!? Huh ?
Huh?

Yes. Now name the plant.
