I've recently been assured that it's easy to start new forsythias from cuttings—either by rooting in water and then transplanting, or simply rooting directly in the ground, the same way I've often rooted roses. My biggest problem may be keeping my enthusiasm under control…though your May West line—which I love, and which I can just hear in that sultry drawl of hers—sounds suspiciously prophetic.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-41754913796003709132012-03-23T03:31:33.565-04:002012-03-23T03:31:33.565-04:00It's a wonderful great splash of colour - I do...It's a wonderful great splash of colour - I don't have it in my garden but I enjoy it in other people's as I pass by.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-39053088173487898312012-03-22T21:32:44.527-04:002012-03-22T21:32:44.527-04:00Beautiful photos, Grizz.

With the blooming of the bushes every March, my joy at their beauty is always dampened a bit by the regret that I didn't plant more. When it comes to forsythia, I'm reminded of that famous May West line: "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful."Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-64419364882297545232012-03-21T21:22:17.974-04:002012-03-21T21:22:17.974-04:00Gail…

I'm just learning, though Mom had blooms and color around the house most of the year, and I'm finding if I consider what she had out, and do the same, that my flower calendar is fairly complete. But I have lots more space, and lots more shade, which complicates.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-14393327265299595302012-03-21T21:13:14.956-04:002012-03-21T21:13:14.956-04:00Weaver…

Of course this year there's been no need for pre-season blooms, as we've had flowers of one thing or another going since January. I don't think our forsythia are late—just that everything else is way early. <br /><br />I certainly will be supporting you this afternoon in both prayer and friendship. Don't be afraid—you're tougher than what ails you. Your life is filled with beauty and promise. Things will be okay and work out…I believe that with all my heart.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-85510487014689438352012-03-21T11:11:07.190-04:002012-03-21T11:11:07.190-04:00Hi Grizz - we are bordered by forsythia here.

This year I was remiss - usually I bring in cuts from the forsythia bushes in early February and put them in warm water and within three days our dining room table is all aglow with the yellow of Spring. This year our blooms are very late. I so love your pictures which capture the brightness so beautifully. You bring such promise and hope, always.<br />Well, today is my physical - stem to stern so to speak. Good Lord!
