The flower looks very much like a Gorse Spritz , is it related ?

I just checked the Genus for Gorse (Ulex) and this plant - and they belong to the same family! Leguminosae in latin. So, yes, Amy, they are related!

However, as Gilli says, this one is a nice shrub - it doesn't have ANY prickles!

Well spotted, Amy. We live and learn, don't we.
