This is a yellow flower the size of my thumb. I am using this in a flowerbed, but have no idea what its name is. Can someone help? And, please do tell me whether you like the photo. I am spending some time these days on macro photography.

It is certainly pea family but whether it is a vetch or a broom or a gorse is hard to decide without seeing the foliage. It is a very nice photo. The colour is excellent. I always find yellows rather difficult to photograph ... they tend to burn out if there is too much contrast in the lighting.

The stems are fleshy and hairless (or nearly so) and quite long. Is it an annual or a perennial? Have you seen it seed? What are the seeds like? Also where are you located (what zone or country)?

Here is a picture that has some more details. Please do check it. IT doesn't have seeds, I guess. I don't think it belongs to the pea family, though the flower looks so similar to pea flowers. This is a decorative plant. I used the stem to generate it. Hey, pls explain 'annual' andperennial' in this context. (I am a dummy, hehehehehe). I am from India. Are you an expert in this field? (botanist, horticulturist?)I apreciate your help very much.

It is a beautiful close-up of a nice yellow flower. What kind of camera did you use to take the shot? And sorry but I do not know the name of the flower.

Thanks for the good comment. I use a sony. I am not an expert. Sometimes, the pictures just come out well. I take photography as a serious hobby.

I am not really sure. I wish I knew though. It is very pretty. My cardinial flowers sort of look like that but they are red. Hope some one can help you. I also have one here that I am not sure of. If my friend does not know what it is when she gets here, I will have to post a thread also.

Thanks for your kind words. No, I am not a professional, but would like take photography seriously. I don't think I am good enough yet, but I hope to take some training in photography and better if possible. I simply love to take macro pictures.
