Gorse
Ulex europaeus
44.1356, -124.115
Field Notes
Description:
Bright yellow flowers like those of Scotch broom, with long painful thorns.
Habitat:
Rocky cliffs and very sandy soil.
Notes:
Considered a pest on the Oregon coast, especially near Bandon. It makes a beautiful golden carpet when it blooms, and I got a new appreciation for it's good uses when I read the Wikipedia article. It thrives on the coast but doesn't seem to spread much inland.
