Forsythia

These shrubs like a little warmth in the winter.

Delicate and elegant!

Ooh looks a little bleak at the moment. Lovely purple in the buds coming through.

@cejaanderson Thank you for saying so, Jane. @pusspup It's too early for these. We have at least 2-3 more months of winter. We called these shrubs "crazy" when I was growing up. they'd pop out at the slightest bit of warm weather in the winter.

[Peter Grave]

Might be telling you a warm winter Kathy?

Poor crazty plant, they will be lucky wanting warmth at the moment.... but, well caught, they posed for you!!
