[EN] Almost everywhere in Scotland, anyone must have noticed these bushes. I truly liked them very much. [RO] Aproape oriunde în Scoţia, oricine trebuie să fi observat aceşte tufşuri. Cu adevărat mi-au plăcut foarte mult.
[EN] I haven’t seen anywhere else. The problem is that I don’t know how to call them; I didn’t ask when I could :-( [RO] Nu le-am văzut nicăieri altundeva. Problema că nu ştiu cum să le numesc; n-am întrebat când puteam :-(
[EN] Is there any English-speaking reader of MunteanUK who could post a comment with their names? [RO] Există vreun vorbitor de engleză, cititor de MunteanUK, care ar putea să posteze un comentariu cu numele lor?

the first is gorse (also furze or whin), one of my favourites. funnily enough its scientific name is 'elix' from ancient Greek but according to my Greek friends it doesn't exist in Greece ;-)
the second is holly, i think.
