FORSYTHIA

Walter A. Aue, May 2001


Thanks, William Forsyth, thanks for introducing that lovely shrub to England (and thence, I suppose, to Canada). Its flowers open early, long before its leaves do. You have indeed brought us gold after the long winter. Thanks for having had the forsythe!

To atone - for a winded introduction on this and for gratuitous comments on the previous page - I won't bother you with any more pop-ups. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words - and Forsythia is worth a thousand pictures.

Forsythia, you see, is a state of mind. So, enjoy Forsythia....
