Back with the twisty, dead gorse bushes and a couple of nice fungi: burgundy drop - Mycena haematopus and Polyporus tuberaster which is showing true goblet potential here.

The evergreen shrub Ulex europaeus (gorse) is a native plant in the U.K. and can be seen in all kinds of habitats, from heaths and coastal grasslands to towns and gardens. It can normally be found in flower to some extent throughout the year. The yellow pea-like flowers have a distinctive coconut scent.

TINCTORIALES :: Ajonc d’Europe - Ulex europaeus

19/03/2021 - J’ai enfin trouvé le spot parfait pour ma récolte d’ajonc, je teste la couleur demain si tout va bien .

20/03/21 - hachage des plantes

Mise en macération

21/03/21 - c’est parti pour une heure de chauffe, puis faites bouillir pour voir si les couleurs d’origine peuvent venir

Mise au bain de la laine et d’un carré de coton

Now wait and see

4h plus tard, le bain à refroidi, c’est très jaune (malheureusement la photo ne rend pas exactement la couleur pétante que je vois, j’apprends à faire des réglages et je reviens hihi), je remet quand même le tout dans l’eau jusqu’à demain pour bien saturer les textiles.

Plant of the Day

Saturday 1 May 2021

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.
