It is hard to avoid it. It is everywhere I looked!
The always present yellow background - Ulex
In early spring as soon as the days get longer and warmer the bushes will bloom and the are will turn to a yellow sea. I like them, even though they are very invasive and have very sharp thorns. I like that bright yellow colour and funny looking flowers.
Above the little blue flower is called Lithodora prostrata
Below one of the large types of Onionweed was growing their 1,5 m tall flower spikes. This is another invasive weed that I like. Even more than Ulex.
Some grasses dancing on the wind...
... and spring blooming Erica with million of tiny purple flowers.
Both of those bushes are usually surrounded by bees, bumblebees and other small flying nectar eaters.
And here is the guilty one.
Ulex or Gorse bush. One of my friends makes ice creams from the flowers (yes, they are edible). I have never tried it, but it must be nice and fragrant.
Every weed has a purpose :)
