Bloomin gorse!
 

The cliffs around my village are covered in gorse in full bloom...weird or what?

What's gorse?

This stuff. I fell into a bush of this stuff when I was a kid lol! OUCH!

GORSE (Ulex europaeus) . Hedging Plants, Trees, Shrubs and Conifers.

Ok. Cool! Those cliffs must look pretty neat.

Not on a miserable day like today lol. ;) It normally never blooms at this time of year but plants are flowering all over the place when they should be dormant.

oo - bet that looks great!

Weather sure is weird lately. We had 60 degree temps this week and last week, the forsythia bushes in my yard--and neighborhood--are blooming, and I have daffodils that have leaves a foot tall, at least no buds though. This should be happening in the spring, not now. Crazy!

yikes! falling on a bush like that...its got viscious spines!

It did make me howl a tad lol.

I grew up in Devon and there was loads of gorse all around where I lived. I love it! I love the smell of it and it's vibrant colour. Did you know that you can make a pina colada inspired drink from it too? Apparently it tastes like coconuts. Living in London I don't see it anywhere now :(

I always thought it was poisonous but so is so much of what we consume anyway lol. I think another week will see the blooms open more fully. I'll post pics of it if it's decent views of the stuff.
