Winter Jasmine

Winter jasmine is a drought-tolerant shrub with tiny yellow flowers. It is one of the first plants to bloom in the spring, usually in February.

It grows in a rather interesting way. Its arching stems arise from a central crown. Wherever the tips of the branches touch the ground it may root and "leap" throughout an area.

It's leaves are small, thick, and glossy. The small yellow flowers are a welcome sight in late winter, but are not particularly noticeable.
