I was very taken by the abundant colourful yellow flowers on the hillsides and alongside the roads in New Zealand's South Island, until I found they were gorse and broom - invasive weeds. So I decided to use my macro of them for this orb. Here's a musical link. Explored.

[Edited] These flowers were growing on small shrubs in parts of the Tasmanian west coast. I had identified them as a Tasmanian native plant, but several ipernity members picked them as Canary Broom Genista monspessulana . After some research, I must agree with them. That means that these pleasant looking flowers belong to particularly invasive plant which has been declared a "Weed of National Importance": about as nasty as can be found..... At least I didn't try to collect any cuttings or seeds!
