The golden Broom covered hills of the Conway river valley near Kaikoura.
In the Springtime and early Summer these Hills are glowing with golden Broom flowers.
Broom is a weed plant in new Zealand it grows everywhere and seeds in profusion covering whole hillsides for miles. it is very pretty to drive through and there is a strong perfume too. Broom is marginally better than Gorse which also has pretty yellow flowers, but also has nasty thorns, Broom doesn't have any thorns and Sheep will eat it a little,

It certainly looks marvellous.
gosh...what a lovely view....
It does make the hills look wonderful. I have never heard of either plant but of course I live on the prairie in middle America.
I do remember how pretty the gorse was When we visited New Zealand but I didn't have to try to walk through it.
Congratulation to your daughter on her race walking, that is quite an accomplishment.
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
