It was a 4 foot shrub growing between some gorse bushes. Had just a very
few stems, covered in quite big spherical pale yellow flowers (but not very
substantial looking, like e.g. mimosa).

Was driving down the Oxford ring road at the time, so details might be dodgy


Any ideas?

Was it Broom?

When was this? If recently, I haven't the faintest! If last autmn, could
be buddleia globosa.

Kerria japonica fits the description, most often seen as the double form,
but the pale yellow single escapes into the countryside from time to time.

Thanks all, but it's not anything that anyone suggested.

I'll have another look out for it this weekend and maybe get a picture.
