If you live in Vienna, this blog is gonna make you feel like you’re missing out on something and if you’ve been there, you’ll definitely wish you never left!

Ha! It was fun to see a broom !! This is a very very popular plant her in the American Southwest. They grow huge and sport masses of yellow blooms. I think they call it Spanish Broom or Scotch Broom here.
I first encountered this plant on the island of Capri (near Naples, Italy), hiking up Monte Salaro and over to Belvedere della Migliara, where I was enchanted by its yellow flowers against the dark blue Mediterranean sky (I link to Bruno Manfellotti's article about Capri, well worth reading if you ever want to know the Capri off the tourist path: click here).
Ever since then I live a Proustian moment every time I see flowering "ginestra", as the Italians call it.
