Genista Scorpius

Genista scorpius is a unique and resilient plant native to the rocky and arid regions of southern Europe. Known for its striking yellow flowers and thorny stems, it thrives in harsh environments where few other plants can survive. This evergreen shrub is often found in scrublands and along coastal cliffs, where it withstands strong winds and poor soil conditions. Its common name, "Scorpion's Bush," reflects its spiky appearance and hardy nature. Despite its tough exterior, Genista scorpius plays an important role in supporting local wildlife and preventing soil erosion.
