Forsythia
Winter-weary eyes love these banks of forsythia that bloom so abundantly yellow after months of gray on brown. We didn’t plant this forsythia. I suppose it was the gift of a passing bird or critter, though the gardening books say this deciduous shrub is propagated by stem cuttings and such activity doesn’t seem to suit the purposes of any raccoon or jaybird I ever saw. Nor have we pruned it, the first blooming stems having appeared in a sort of wilderness area beside a tipsy old outbuilding. So, in about five years, this mass has grown from one spontaneously-generated twig.
