This flowering wild spiny shrub/plant was found on top of a hill with clay type soil & a good drainage area. I only saw 3 of its type in the area where I was at.

***************************


Astragalus (As-trį-ga-lus) is a large genus of about 2,000 species of herbs and small shrubs, belonging to the legume family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. The genus is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Common names include milk-vetch (most species), locoweed (in western US, some species)[1] and goat's-thorn (A. gummifer, A. tragacanthus). Some pale-flowered vetches are similar in appearance, but vetches are more vine-like.

Hi Umar,

It's amazing to see this beautiful bush growing in the clay soil. I was surprised to read that the drainage was good! The flowers are such a pretty color and I love how you composed this with the entire bush in the frame. Quite different from the other flowers you have shown us.
