Forsythia

ive seen so many of these this year and seem to look so bright as well, manybe its because its been a bad winter and they are a welcome sight dawn :o))

Very nice shot here Dawn. What a lovely thing.

Great shot Dawn, were you laid on the floor looking up,lol.

Great shot dawn - they do seem brighter this year - just looking out at mine now so cheerful

Love this view! As Sinbad asked previously, were you laid out on the lawn?

Ha ha, no I wasnt lying on the ground for this shot but standing in the brook. It grows in the hedge alongside the brook. Ive been noticing them in garden hedges locally and they look great. I agree Sandra/Angie, they do seem bright this year which is nice.

Beautiful Dawn..........

Thanks Maureen. x

Bright and cheering........

Does anyone know how to make them flower really well. You notice them in gardens and they are covered in flowers - maybe its due to pruning?

I think your right Dawn, hard pruning is the answer.

Looks best to prune after flowering so it can get a year of new growth old enough to flower next spring. :-)

Thanks Dotty D and Greenthumb. I'lll do that :-)
