    It's gorse. Did you try sniffing it? Quite perfumed, bit like pineapple.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Called Furze down here,  there’s a saying ‘When Gorse is in Season, Kissings in reason’
    meaning it’s almost always blooming. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Yes, it's Gorse.  Always smells of coconut and vanilla to me!

    Think I meant coconut, knew it was something exotic.

    Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people

    I'm guessing European gorse?
