SK 3436 28 April 2022: 4 very high res. images.

Location: Eden Project, Cornwall, UK
Altitude: 60m.
Date: 03 April 2022
Habit : Cultivated
Fabaceae …???

Aspalathus species. Just a guess.


I am so sorry to intrude/disagree.. as I have never heard of or seen Aspalathus.
But it is in the pea family and to me the flowers shown do not look like pea flowers.
“Aspalathus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae.”
Sorry I cannot help with the id.
