There is an old saying in England that “When gorse is out of bloom, then kissing is out of season”! Fortunately for us all, gorse is one of the very few flowers that is blooming throughout the year although it may not always be the same species. We have three in the UK, the Common Gorse being more widespread. The lovely yellow flowers brighten the countryside on even the dullest of days and give off a strong coconut-like smell in the hot sunshine.

- Winter Gorse
Your posts are amazing not just for the photos but for the information you share. So used to seeing gorse in the spring/summer I didn’t know that there were different varieties flowering all year! Felicity xx
