Today’s Flowers: Forsythia

Soon...soon...spring will come....

I am not sure our forsyhtia has buds yet. I'll have to go and have a look.

I know you are looking forward to seeing it bloom. Spring is closer now!!

that is so encouraging to see that, Spring is slowly coming.....

One of my favorite things in the spring, but they are not common here. I miss them.

At least things are moving in the right direction. My Forsythia has been murdered by our drought.

I'm not sure if I know this bud/flower - I just love the sight of something growing! I have seen some small buds in the snow in Oslo - so soon spring is here!

I am so ready for spring. It's nice to see that the buds are forming and soon will be beautiful flowers.

Lovely photos Leora, uplifting.

Love the yellow colour it looks so gentle and serene.

Yup spring is coming...thankfully! Thanks for sharing.

Ah! I do love the bright yellow of forsythia. Your photos are great!

Don't you just love forests and spring. Ah... so calming and relaxing even though just through a photo. I wish I could be there on the actual spot. Best wishes :)

Encouraging shots of the coming spring.

Hopefully it won't be long

What a great reminder. I'll have to go outside and check my little forsythia plant. Great post!

the bud shows so much promise! i love the yellow flowers, too!

Love your picture..
Forsythia are easy to force indoors as well.
They bloom right now in my livingroom.
But of all the spring-flowering shrubs, the easiest and most popular to force into bloom this month is forsythia. Placed in a blue glass vase, the twigs of delicate bright yellow flowers can look magical.

Lovely photos! Spring is around the corner, although from the snowfall we received last night, you'd never know it.

I know you are about to get the snow, too.

Hey, Leora! The buds are starting to break in New Jersey! Spring is moving further and further north. ;-)

Spring is finally coming! I love forsythia. We had a beautiful bush in my front yard when I was growing up, it always reminds me of home :).

Your flowers are starting look like bud!
Wonderful post!

Thanks for posting!

I saw a tree with buds like on your first photo yesterday in our parks, but forsythia is not yet blooming here. We still have to wait some days, or maybe two weeks, then the fairies will have fulfilled their spell :)

i have also been meaning to try forcing some branches - i shall take the clippers when i do the compost run this evening!!
thanks for spurring me onward!

Beautiful signs of Spring! May it arrive soon for you ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

When I saw that picture, the bud reminded me of one of those toys that has a long yellow stick and a red claw like grabbing thing, that boys like playing with.

Imagine my surprise to see your forsythia bud after posting a forced forsythia bloom on mine!
They take me back to my childhood. Dad planted one when we moved into my childhood home and it's still there in Mom's yard today.
