This is the large-flowered partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata) which has flowers 2-3 times larger than the one featured yesterday.

In a group, this plant can be quite showy! Equally attractive to bees and a larval host for sulphurs, both species are annual plants found throughout the state. This species is a taller plant, in addition to having the larger flowers. It looks spectacular when growing in a large mass. . . . #nativeplants #nativeplantsofgeorgia #gardening #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardening #nativehabitat #wildlifegardening #plants #georgia #gonative #spring
