Furze in flower
Daisy's
Last but not least is the humble Dandelion which is known more often as 'Pissy beds' this probably comes from the French 'pissenlit', literally piss-a-bed. Legend has it that you will piss your bed if you smell or pick it.

Ooh, flowers ... !! Thanks for sharing these. :-) Are they really taken in Dublin though? I mean in the city? What's that black area behind the heather plants ... ?
Tarmacadam these were taken in an industrial estate where I was reading your blog
Your country is so beautiful. It is the first on my list of "places to visit before I die"
I hope if you do get here, you are not disapointed
Tarmac, that is too weird. In this country heather is a mountain and forest flower. It looks really weird to my eyes in this setting. :-D
All of the others were wild but the heather was planted, it grows in Bog (moors) all over Ireland where it seems to trive
OK, they're planted, that makes more sense. :-)
So those are daisies. I've always called them (the Norwegian equivalent of) 'thousandjoys'. Thanks for an interesting post! And I sure agree with Leisha that it's weird seeing heather in an urban setting, that's a wilderness flower for me as well, certainly.
'thousandjoys' lovely name. Heather is grown a lot as it flowers a lot of the year and takes very little maintanence
