This Amorpha fruticosa (false indigo bush, desert false indigo) was covered in small purple flowers with yellow stamens extending beyond the single petal, and was incredibly popular with the local bee population! This deciduous shrub creates a loose, leggy habit covered in pinnate, fine-textured foliage. This shrub can form thickets on riverbanks in the northeast USA and can be invasive.
