At this time of year there is plenty of heather in flower. It is a flower much favoured by the bees and produces very good honey. There are several different plants which get lumped together and called heathers, but perhaps the commonest is Calluna vulgaris which to most people is heather but to some is known as ling. In France it is known as bruyyere.
