The Sweet Broom

(Spartium junceum) is a simple and tenacious flower, adaptable and resilient; it sinks its leathery roots deep, even in the most inhospitable, calcareous, and rocky soils.

It colonizes slopes and cliffs, coloring them with bright golden hues; it proudly extends its long, thin, and round dark green stems, which appear static, rigid, and delicate, but are pliable and flexible with every breath of wind. Thanks to its rustic and strong structure, the broom manages to withstand the most inclement weather.

The multiple and bare stems form wide circular crowns, covered at the ends with countless and vibrant golden-yellow inflorescences: small golden buds open their light petals, spreading a delightful and unmistakable fragrance in the air.
