Forsythia

That's looking good! Lots of flowers in bud there. My one's sulking.

Lovely...mine still in buds..

Had the buds for a while Oji. They have decided to burst this week, a couple of weeks for you yet?

Not really, P. I cut it back hard last year, so not expecting flowers this year. It's not a good one at the best of times - too lax and whippy. It's on it's last warning to flower well next year - or else!

Another sure sign of spring!
Couple of more weeks yet here I think.

I've two in the front garden. They had grown absolutely huge so they got the chop a couple of years back (amazing how much lighter the sitting room is!!). We couldn't get the roots out so they're trying to grow again and we just keep chopping them back!

Chop them back at the right time Sheila with an R. ;0)

Sorry to sound thick Pimp, but what's an 'R'?

SheilaR.....Sheila no R..... Lol. You weren't gonna chop them with an R was ya? I make very little sense at the best of times ..You kow that!

I racked my little brain and thought ... razor blade, rawl plug, (w)rench ... the list goes on! lol :o)))

Sorry..I would have done the same I think. I blame my parents!

Rench lol.

Is it Forsythia time again? Yellow is go :)

I quite like Robinia.

Mines still in bud , I find that if you bring some in and put it in water it soon starts to bloom ... I wondered what an ' R ' was as well LOL
