Unknown Garden Volunteer: Take a Cutting to a Nursery

Your plant—leaves folding at night, small yellow flowers, long seed pods—is likely a native or naturalized legume. Without a flower photo, ID is guesswork.

Best Approach

1. Take a stem with leaves and a flower/seed pod to a reputable independent garden center (not a chain).
2. Seal in a bag (may have bugs).
3. They can ID it locally.
