Spring is here - part 3 - Acacia longifolia

Oh yes... this one screams Spring to me like nothing else. Millions of bright yellow, fluffy flowers. And you should hear the busy buzzing around it. Bees are so happy there!

Acacia longifolia is native to Australia and is considered very invasive because of it's very fast growth habit. But it seems to be very happy here in Portugal too and there is a few of them very close-by. Mostly in unused areas so yea... nobody takes care of it and it grows as it wants to.
There is another one very alike, but with round pom pom like flowers. If you have a chance to see one, touch (and smell) the flowers. So soft and fluffy! :)

See the mess? Now imagine a bush the size of bus all covered on those yellow blooms :)
