  • Question

    I live in Southern California. I bought these plants at a nursery in Lakewood, california. When I bought them it didn’t have a name for them. I kept on searching for them on the internet and i could never find them. Seems like they could be a native plant.If you could help me identify them that would be great. Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear jaclyn01, good morning. I'm sorry that I cannot be of more assistance. You have a legume (Fabaceae), but I do not know who. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. Sometimes I can help beyond that range and sometimes I can't. You need to get in touch with folks who study the flora of California. I can help you connect with them if you would like. Email me at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org if you want more assistance and I'll show you how to find the expertise you need to solve your mystery. Best wishes.
