Softer Than RockWhat's that yellow blossom enhancing the scene?

Re: Softer Than RockIt's Gorse (Ulex europaeus), A rather nasty, prickly shrub that you really don't want to fall into. On the other hand it does smell quite nice.

Re: Softer Than RockThanks for the info Dan! Quite surprisingly, this time the Net says this plant (anthropophyte in Poland) (I can't remeber seeing anything yellow that big:) is native to Britain, right?
Cheers

Re: Softer Than RockYes, it's a native, and quite common too in west Wales. Tends not to grow that high, but does quite well on lower hills, valleys and coastal regions. It can become a bit of a nuisance, as if it is not managed properly it has a tendancy to take over other habitiats.

Re: Softer Than RockAha, maybe softer than rock then but able, or even willing, to hurt :)

Re: Softer Than RockYes, I can tell you from personal experience that running through it hurts (or maybe I'm just being a baby...)

Re: Softer Than RockI wonder if the ancient Britons used it to make their defence ditches or palisades more effective…
