I don't think I've ever seen dead gorse, I'm so used to seeing it in bloom. But I did a google search and discovered that Gorse is relatively short-lived (up to 25 years) you can read more on the RSPB site
Looked like it just dried up and died. There were a few more of these on the trail that we were walking on. All the other gorse was doing fine and blooming.
Must have been very dry weather.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It looks like it needs some rain. I feel like if I fall on that cliff, I will die of thorns and cuts. But to look at it, it's beautiful!

ReplyDeletePure nature on its best Bill.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's died naturally or if it's being controlled for some reason.
ReplyDeleteHi Bill.
ReplyDeleteIt is very wild.
Greetings from Patricia.
Now that's not something I associate with the Emerald Isle Bill 🍀
ReplyDeleteGosto deste olhar.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e uma boa semana.

Live gorse looks better!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this....... :(
ReplyDeleteHello, I have never heard of gorse, I guess it wasn't meant to be.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
...something new for me.
ReplyDeleteThe plant is not good against cold and frost, perhaps therefore died.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day, Bill!
We got some green, I am glad about it, but, weee, it´s way too cold for the season.
ReplyDeleteBut sunny, so, to a nice arvo, Bill :-)
Crazy
ReplyDeleteIs it really dead?
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to try to walk through that.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good hike though!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting looking!
ReplyDeletePast its prime?
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking. Looks hard and scratchy like you wouldn't want to walk through it. Never heard of if before.
ReplyDeleteMust be a very dry area.
ReplyDeleteLooks ghostly. And I bet scratchy as all get out.
ReplyDeleteGorse?

All the best Jan
What happened? My children loved the gorse, playing hide and seek. Why, I have no idea.

DeleteOlá Bill!
ReplyDeleteUns caules um pouco secos.
Tal como muitos de nós andamos hoje em dia.
Que tudo volte a florir.
Um abraço mágico.🙅

First time to hear gorse.
ReplyDeleteTime to regenerate.
ReplyDeleteThere are many native plant proponents who might say the only good gorse is dead gorse.
ReplyDeleteLooks dead but wait it a small piece might rise from below :)
ReplyDeleteBut still looks wonderful! Take care
ReplyDeleteOne of the bushes I've most admired when visiting the Emerald Isle.
ReplyDeleteNow I have learned something new, Bill, because I didn't know that gorse was before I saw this post and looked it up!
ReplyDeleteGorse is a new one to me.
