We drove down to Florida and the roadside trees in all 3 states were beautifully festooned with yellow flowers. These were the flowers of Carolina jessamine vines (Gelsemium sempervirens) that twined among the bare twigs of the trees on the sunny edge.
Some had just a few flowers while others created large masses of yellow. I could not help but smile to see so many.
Unfortunately we were not able to stop and take a picture (below is a photo from 2014 and it really does not do it justice). However, we stopped at Buc-ee's in Auburn, AL and found them using this same plant as a shrub (or at least a very bushy groundcover) See the photo above.
