Lovely, lovely, lovely -- when you see forsythia, you know it's spring.

Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

Actually belongs to my neighbor because she planted it. But then I am the one that takes care of it so I guess we have joint custody.

Forsythia is one of those plants that just says "spring is in the air". Love this banner, Rita!

Spring when it blooms is the only time I like it. Otherwise it is just a straggly looking bush the rest of the season. But in bloom it is stunning. Really shouts Spring is here!

I agree. I do not have any forsythia at my house, so I enjoy looking at everyone else's.

I've got one of those beautiful spring, yet scraggly all the rest of the year plants too! My Bridal Wreath Spiraea is one such example. Azaleas are another. Can be tempting to pull them out during the year, but come every spring...It reminds me why I planted it!
