Path Through the Scotch Broom

Scotch Broom is a pretty bush, especially when in bloom. But it has spread widely in Oregon and Washington during my lifetime. I was interested in its history in Oregon and learned some interesting things.

"Scotch broom was widely planted in Western Oregon for dune
stabilization and as an ornamental along highway corridors. It is now the most
extensive forest weed species and a significant source of pollen effecting allergy
sufferers." See:
