Hoping to get out and look for #Wildflowers later for the BSBI New Year Plant hunt if there's a good enough gap in the weather! #NewYearPlantHunt. https://bsbi.org/take-part/activities/new-year-plant-hunt
I'm also planning to keep note of all the flowers I see in January, then see which are still flowering in February, March etc. to see if I can see any all year round. Anyone want to join me? I'm using the tag #WildflowerKO2026 I loved doing #YearIfDaisy last year, inspired by #YearOfGorse, wondered what else may be possible😊

My gorse photos for #YearOfGorse 2025
12 months of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year. It's been good fun. The middle months were pretty tricky. First time I've found flowering gorse just on walks from my house in Aberdeenshire Scotland for each month of a full year.

05/12/2025 - Gorse in December for #YearOfGorse
12th and final month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year.
First time I've found gorse on walks from my house each month of a year. It's been a good year for these wonderful little yellow flowers that give a bit of much needed colour each month.

09/11/2025 - Gorse in November for #YearOfGorse
11th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year.
A short walk up and down the hill before tea. Sunset was 4.06pm today so I needed a little bit of head torch on the way back.

10th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year.
Just two more months to go after this. Starting to get easier again now. Plenty of gorse coming back into flower. A welcome bit of colour on a grey day.

9th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year.
Slow walk up and down the usual road today. The gorse was trimmed a few weeks back by the council. It seems to have shocked new flowers into life this week. Nice to see a bit of yellow back on the gorse.

8th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year.
5 mile walk after work this evening. I saw just 2 lots of flowering gorse and there's a lot of gorse round here to look through. Tough time of year for finding any in flower.

04/07/2025 - Gorse in July for #YearOfGorse
7th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year.
Into the tough months now. I walked past a fair bit of gorse this evening and nothing in flower. Headed up to the higher road and finally found a small yellow patch of flowers. Phew!

June's pic for #YearOfGorse
It was an overcast, showery day so not the greatest pic (I do love yellow gorse against a blue sky!), but since it's dying off so quickly, I didn't want to delay.
I didn't originally think I'd have any trouble getting a gorse pic in June but I think the warm dry spring has sped up the flowering season and I struggled to find some at first (lots of bushes with dead blooms) but eventually hit the mother lode!
Not feeling confident for next month... 😬

08/06/2025 - Gorse in June for #YearOfGorse
6th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year. I've made it to halfway 😃
What a difference a few weeks make. Gorse was flowering everywhere in May. So different this week with lots of the flowers dying off.

My #YearOfGorse pic for May (a challenge to take a pic of gorse in flower every month of the year, idea credit to @Spaceways ).
I took a bunch of gorse photos during my walk yesterday. It was only when I got home that I realised I'd been photo-bombed by this little guy!

04/05/2025 - Gorse in May for #YearOfGorse
5th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year. Gorse is everywhere at the moment and today looked so nice in the sunshine. These are the easy months, it's going to get tricky come autumn.

April's pic for #YearOfGorse (a challenge to post a pic of gorse in flower taken each month of the year.) Credit to @Spaceways for the idea.
Managed to catch a few rays of April sunshine for this one!

03/04/2025 - Gorse in April
4th month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month for a year. The sunshine on the gorse looked so nice today on our walk. Just a slow stroll after a late visit to a hill last night.
Gorse is full of life. Most of it small but still as magic as anything we come across on our walks.
A few photos of bugs and stuff we saw on gorse today
Gorse shieldbug
Golden dung fly
Cross orbweaver spider

09/03/2025 - Gorse in March.
3rd month of trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month of 2025 on walks from my house. There was so much yellow about today, all looking lovely in the sunshine.

I am finally posting some pics for the #YearOfGorse
I took a couple of pics in early January, but held off posting in case I found something better. Then before I knew it, it was February. Took more pics in Feb and forgot to post them. 🤦♀️
So today, I'm posting Jan, Feb AND March's pics in case I forget again. Three for one, gorse fans!

01/02/2025 - Gorse in February.
I love gorse, it always seems to be in flower. There is a lot about at the moment.
I'm trying to take a photo of flowering gorse each month of 2025 on walks from my house. Here's February's. Just 10 more months to go.

Inspired by #YearOfGorse I'm going to look for a flowering daisy each month this year on walks to/from my house. Here's the first, spotted on January 1st, so I'm off to a good start!

01/01/2025 - Gorse in January
I love gorse, it always seems to be in flower. I'm going to try and take a photo of flowering gorse each month of 2025 on walks from my house. Here's January's. Just 11 more to go. (I've done this before but not managed all months from my local patch so could be tricky). Spaceways rules - One photo per month for 12 months, each photo needs to be at least a week apart so no taking the same flower on the 31st and then again the 1st. 😃
