Forsythia

These Forsythia were planted in the center of the parking lot of Latham Farms which is a big box store complex. Forsythia are a beautiful yellow during this time of year, but once they lose their flowers, they become a rather stalky non-descript shrub.

I love them because they're usually the first colourful thing to bloom in spring, and on overcast days they seem almost radiant.

When my company was here 2 weeks ago he kept asking me about them. He really liked them. I used to hate them but have come to enjoy them.

I'm with MSM. I have a forsythia, and love it because I'm the first house on my block to have huge exploding color come springtime. My forsythia have already lost their flowers, but that's okay -- the hot pink roses are about to bloom.
