@Solaronion you were "desperate" to discuss this video but have given no input to this conversation. Once we finish talking about broom, the thread is likely to peter out. Is there anything you actually wanted to discuss?
Honestly, I felt a little embarrassed by a bunch of people early on saying they had seen this sort of thing before. I hadn't. So I've gone quiet and self-consciously started looking for other resources rather than force a discussion.@Solaronion you were "desperate" to discuss this video but have given no input to this conversation.

We do have Scotch Broom, which is similar but less "bushy". In some areas of the country, it's EXTREMELY invasive, while in this area, it's still available in nurseries. I couldn't keep it alive in my yard, lol.Oops lol thanks for the correction. I thought that didn't look right. I don't think we have gorse in the US! I've never noticed it, anyway.
I need to read ALL the replies before replying myself, lol. Oops!In my neck of the US woods we don't have gorse, but we have invasive Scotch Broom, which looks similar to Gorse but presumably came from Scotland, not Ireland. It lines all the freeways and causes many allergies. I don't even think you can make tea out of the flower, but I guess you can use it as a broom in a pinch..
No worries, good to know there are some fellow scotchbroom-aware poly folk out there!I need to read ALL the replies before replying myself, lol. Oops!
