Forsythia



Exuberant forsythia!
These nuggets are among the first signs of Spring here, and my neighbor's shrub is as golden as I have ever seen it. I have forsythia, but mine has never been this glorious. Forsythia (if you can bear to cut some of its branches) makes a wonderful filler in early-Spring arrangements. Just get some dogwood and redbud, perhaps a few Bradford pear blossoms, and what a beautiful bouquet!

    What a beautiful flower! Thanks so much for visiting Cypress Daily Photo. I feel like I'm finally coming up for air and am looking forward to reconnecting with the daily photo family.

    My old friend, forsythia. I am reduced to miniatures versions now but they still have the yellow flowers. Nice photography.

    Nice shot!
    Is the redbud budding already?
    That's usually a sign for me to trek back to Michigan...

    Thanks for your comments!
    Isabella, I don't know about Michigan, but redbuds are blooming in Alabama as is some dogwood. I haven't seen any azaleas out yet, but there are a few wisteria.
    I bet the Michigan woods are beautiful in Spring. Don't miss it!

    No flowers here yet, but the buds tell me it won't be long in Delta!

    They really are lovely! I don't think I could bear to cut off some branches for an arrangement. Well, maybe if I had LOTS. :-)

    Thank you for your nice comments on my Villigen blog.
