This beautiful yellow flower is one of the symbols of spring for me. Here are a few interesting facts about it:
- Forsythia is also known as Easter tree.
- The plant is named after William Forsyth, a Scottish botanist. He was a royal head gardener and a founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society.
- Forsythia suspensa is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in Chinese herbology. It’s typically used to detoxify the body and treat colds and fever.
- Forsythia sticks are used to bow a Korean string instrument called ajaeng.
- The meaning of forsythia in flower language is Anticipation.

Thanks for sharing interesting facts. We also have this plant in our country and it is already blooming beautifully.
I saw the blooms today and it made me very happy. Like a ray of sunshine.
I was surprised by its medical properties and that it’s used to create music. The name is similar in most languages, but it may not be very common in your area.
I don’t know if we have it or not but very pretty
It may not be very common there.
It’s always interesting when you find new facts unknown to you in a post. Thanks.
I didn’t know most of these things before I researched it for this post. I was surprised it’s used in medicine and to create music.
We have a lot of flowers here too … some use it for hedges … but I didn’t know anything about these shrubs …. it really does have nice yellow flowers

It’s very common here too, but I didn’t know some of these things before I researched it for this article. I was impressed by the ways it’s used in Asia.
it is often used as a living fence. It grows well and tall. The flowers have a wonderful smell!
We have it everywhere here too, I love it.
No we don’t have this here , but it is really beautiful
