Elleme's Garden
Forsythia x intermedia
Genus: Forsythia.
Species: Forsythia x intermedia.
Planted by previous house owner, who had cut it right back, to the extent that I didn't notice it for a year. It's currently (early autumn 2008) huge after letting it do its own thing for a couple of years: I'll prune a couple of the thickest stems back after flowering in spring.
