Description
A painting featuring spring greens and blue mountains with yellow Furze growing in the the field hedgerows, also known as Gorse or Whin, this must be our most remarkable native Irish shrub. Throughout the year, the rich yellow peaflowers seem to light up the Irish landscape. These shrubs form very many hedgerows around our fields, they line our country roads and particularly from February to May, when their flowers are in abundance, they are a sight to behold. The 6 to 8 inch long flowers, with their wonderful aroma of coconut, are borne on stems of spiny bluish-green spikes. The leaves have been modified over centuries into rigid and furrowed thorns which withstand the harsh conditions of winters at higher altitudes, making the entire bush one mass of prickles and spines.
