I found these branches in the cooler at class the other night. Made me so happy to find them. Over the last few years, I've been trying to get a row of them started out behind the fence. It's been a slow process because we have to carry water back there. I want to go out today and see if they are showing any signs of life. Years ago, I bought a branch of forsythia at a florist and paid $4 for it. A bargain for a little bit of spring. Clayton had come up to see the boys and noticed it. The next week, out of the blue, I received a cardboard tube in the mail--a whole bundle of forsythia branches from Kentucky!
Do you remember that HUGE forsythia bush in Pine Knot? It is still amazing.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait for mine, it is tall and skinny, about8 feet tall, tomorrow wouldn't be soon enough. Clayton also brought dogwood trees once. I wouldn't mind some dogwood blooms either.
