Hi Barb,

You are so right about those forsythia. One of the first things to bloom around here and I am always happy to see them. This winter has been particularly dreary and cold.

I had a Korean lilac bush and it was pretty. Well, pretty most years. But every once in a while that whole blooms on old wood or blooms on new wood thing would escape me and I would prune it at the wrong time of year. The poor thing would have to spend a barren, boring season because I went crazy with the Felco 2 pruners before I remembered not to.
