Wildlife Spotting

the seed pods are fabaceae.

I looked into Sckels suggestion of Scotch broom, and I agree that it seems to be very similar! But it is a nice looking plant (weed)! I would not mind to have at least one of them in my (non existing) garden :)

haha! This mystery plant created a bit of a drama at least :) Have you thought of planting the seed to se what comes up next year?? haha

are these the seed pods?

O dear! The long, green things are actually the leafes... lol! I am so happy that there are more eyes than mine :P I thought the "Lupinus" was standing in a shrub! Way to go Sckel!

unique indeed.

I agree with lucky, and the branches are similar to Cytisus, perhaps Cytisus scoparius. Unfortunately the flowers fell.

The leaves are completely different on lupine :) Is this a wildflower?

It looks like wild lupinus seed pods :) Here is a reference http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnnylondon/4933953925/ Best regards :)
