The first to spring up and the last to wither, sometimes withstanding even the cold, these are Forsythias that are planted around the building were we live.
I never knew how it was called then but jumping around posts for Today's Flowers, I learned that they are Forsythia. At first, they seem to have no leaves, but I guess just like sakura/cherry blossoms, their flowers comes first and then the leaves grow afterwards.
Have a wonderful week!

Happy to hear you learned about forsythia from my post! Yours do looks so lovely. Yes, I believe I get green leaves all over my back fence after the yellow blooms fade.
ReplyDeleteTwo delightful photographs. Your forsythia close-up is great. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat I have done with these branches before they blossom is to place them indoors in a vase of water and they open up beautifully giving a dull Spring day a burst of sunshine!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful yellow blooms, so perfect for MYM too...I'm not sure if forsythia grows here too, maybe not 'coz I haven't seen one yet or maybe I just don't look that hard. :) Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteWhen Forsythia blooms it is a wonderful sight!

ReplyDeleteForsythia are really nice in the spring time but they are just kinda bland after the pretty yellow flowers are gone from them. They sure look pretty in the spring time though. Hope you have a wonderful week.
