(Editor's Note: Those pesky Twitter hoaxes strike again! Sources tell E! News that the Dublin sightings of Depp are "totally fake.")

Perhaps Johnny Depp is seeking the luck o' the Irish.

Shortly after announcing his split from longtime love Vanessa Paradis, the 49-year-old Dark Shadows star has been spotted out and about in Dublin, so much so that Twitter has been littered with "DeppinDublin" hashtags since he touched down in the Ireland city.

And he seems to be relaxing while he's there, literally taking time to smell the roses, um, flowers.

While Depp was seen having tea at a local shop and grocery shopping Friday by tweeters in the area, the thesp was also caught picking flowers in Dublin's Merrion Square Park.

No word on whether one of those yellow flowers was for his rumored girlfriend Amber Heard (he did buy her a horse after all), who doesn't appear to have accompanied Depp to Dublin…yet.
