Since these had already stopped blooming before we moved in last year, I didn’t notice that we had two huge Forsythia growing at the northern end of the house. I don’t usually care much for Forsythia but I’m glad to see any sign of spring this year!
More Forsythia! (6/8)

One of my all time favorites too!
Around here, scotch broom and sagebrush take the place of the forsythia…when they finally decide to bloom. The scotch broom is an invasive species, but it is pretty.
They’re another flower that reminds me of my childhood. Our backyard was full of Forsythia & Pussywillow.
Ours were Forsythia and Magnolias mostly, but we also had a crabapple or two that bloomed in the spring.
Excellent! I love Magnolia blossoms…they remind me of Jerry Garcia 🙂
“Sugar Magnolia blossom’s blooming
Head’s all empty and I don’t care
Saw my baby down by the river
Knew she’d have to come up soon for air
Sweet blossom come on under the willow
We can have high times if you’ll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside
She’s got everything delightful
She’s got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double
Pays my ticket when I speed
She come skimming through rays of violet
She can wade in a drop of dew
She don’t come and I don’t follow
Waits backstage while I sing to you
She can dance a Cajun rhythm
Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive
She’s a summer love in the spring, fall and winter
She can make happy any man alive
Sugar magnolia
Ringin’ that blue bell
Caught up in sunlight
Come on out singing
I’ll walk you in the sunshine
Come on honey, come along with me
She’s got everything delightful
She’s got everything I need
A breeze in the pines in the summer night moonlight
Crazy in the sunlight yes indeed
Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander round
I wander round
Sunshine daydream
Walking through the tall trees
Going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose
Breathing more freely
Light out singing
I’ll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream
Walk you in the sunshine” 🙂
One of my absolute favorites! <3
Forsythia is one of my favorite signs of spring. 🙂
Anything full of flower would be nice
