Reasons not to go skyclad - the gorse

Supposedly one of the reasons British witches are reluctant to go skyclad, in addition to fear of Granny Weatherwax's reaction, is the gorse - I can't tell from the promo image how vicious Predatron's new gorse is. Would someone who has it be willing to post a render, please (TOS-friendly witches optional)?

    So that's what gorse looks like. I have heather in the back fields but no gorse. Maybe I should plant some.

    The what's included tab on the product page says there are sixteen props, eight with spines and eight without, for distance shots. This sounds fairly prickly to me.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Yes, but I'm not sure if the "with spines" version is shown in the promos or not - the second image, first pop-up, seems rather too small to decide. I was hoping someone could post an image definitely showing the spines.

    I don't have item either but I've always called the ones with spine Gorse and the ones without Whins - though Whikipedia say that they are the same thing.

    The common Gorse (Furze or Whin alternative common names) is actually Ulex rather than Genista and the spines are really modified leaves.

    The one in the store he calls Genista hispanica or Spanish Gorse (sometimes also called Spanish broom)

    Gorse and Broom are closely related plants, but broom is the one that doesn't form spines.

    Granny Weatherwax disapproves of going skyclad, but then, Granny disapproves of pretty much everything.

    Easily my favorite Discworld character.

    This is a part of the plant, hope it helps. This is SubD-ed though, as it is not that high poly.
