It's not chamisa - chamisa is a much larger but similar looking plant that is just about to bloom everywhere around Santa Fe. I would guess they are in the same family.
Anyway it is pretty and is currently adding a nice splash of color to our high desert terrain.

It would be easy to mistake the first pic for forsythia... until one viewed the larger version.
We had a bush like that growing outside our little house in NM. Jesse's 5th grade biology book started off (September of 92) by showing all the bugs that gather on a goldenrod bush. Our bush was not goldenrod, but it was full of various bugs and bees and was a great biology lesson and a great memory for me.
