This Ulex europaeus 'Flore Pleno' (double-blossomed furze, double gorse) was covered with clusters of coconut scented, yellow flowers which were attracting the bees. This is a compact, almost leafless, shrub with very spiny green stems. This cultivar does not produce seed and so can be useful if there are concerns over the species becoming invasive.
