It’s branches are arrayed in gold
It’s boughs the sight in winter greet.
With hues as bright, with leaves as green
As summer scatters on the scene.

An angel mid the woods of May
Embroidered it with radiance gay-
That gossamer with gold bedight-
Those fires of God – those gems of light.

It’s even prettier in Welsh.
Ellen, that is one gorgeous plant! The poem’s nice too 😉
forsythia? in Washington?
If you say so it’s forsythia and yes that’s in Washington! :0)
What beautiful picutres…just awesome 🙂
I love forsythia. That’s one of my favorite signs of spring with its delicate yellow flowers. It seems like those bushes go from bare to covered in yellow overnight. You captured their beauty so well here. Happy May Day.
PS I was sorry to read in your prior posts about the Cancun wedding being changed due to the flu outbreak. That’s a shame.
What a LOVELY LOVELY shot! Can you believe it was cold here in AR, and we had to turn on our fireplace?!
These are just beautiful! i love forsythia! Weather here is still warming up so our bushes have not yet bloomed. Although, most of the trees have reenergized themselves with leaves and blossoms. And my dear hubby has started cutting the lawn for the season.
Beautiful forsythia, Ellen! I guess I just love any yellow flowers! They are always so sunshiny and cheerful.
