Thanks. I'm normally unimpressed by Cytisus, because I
can get more exotic plants with yellow flowers
anywhere, but I've not seen many leguminous shrubs
that provide reds, which aren't tropicals or
subtropicals (if there are others, i'd love to know).
This one is really impressive. I'm wondering where I
can get one.
