Forever in flower, Gorse (Ulex) can always be relied upon to bring colour to the forest. The different species of Gorse and their flexible flowering habit ensure they're always in flower somewhere. Common Gorse (Ulex europaeus) is our most widespread species and can flower throughout the year if it wants, though is most profuse in spring, when (if you have iron fingers or are willing to endure continuous pain) the flowers can be collected and turned into a nice dry white flower wine. Lovely.
