Squirrel Member Joined: May 2006 Pennsylvania USA	This is the first year I`ve seen Lena`s Broom. They are absolutly beautiful. I saw them at a nursery I go to, but, just today, I saw one that has been growing for a few years. Envious!!! I had a scotch broom that had smaller yellow flowers. I loved it but it died. :-(((
