Forsythia

Forsythia (Golden Bells)


Forsythia sp.

The Forsythia is an introduction from China and has been bred into several different species. This one is probably F. intermedia but I am not certain. It is a member of the Olive Family (Oleaceae).

While a rather common garden shrub, we had been nurturing this one for about 8 years before it bloomed at all and then only a few flowers. This year it delighted us with a full show that made the waiting worthwhile.

Unfortunately, a few days later, all the "golden bells" were on the ground it the show was over for the year.
