Border Forsythia
Forsythia x intermedia
(for-SITH-ee-a)

I didn’t want to go another
day to go by without an update to this flower blog. Today’s flower is a garden
classic that has been growing in western gardens since the late 1700’s. Almost
every house around here has at least one Forsythia bush and often times more
that that. It is an easy to propagate and cultivate shrub that can be used as
an accent or for screening. If left to it’s own devices it forms a large
thicket that explodes in color early in the season. We have to move a big planting of Forsythia today as it is starting to encroach on the neighbor's yard.
Things are changing here as I
have been working part-time at a new estate. Kind of a get to know you trial
run for the head gardener position. Even though the commute from Connecticut to Long
Island has been brutal I have been offered a full-time position. The garden is
amazing and since I am running a little late today I cannot speak of all the
wonders at the new place right now but plan to describe it more fully here this
weekend. Lets just say I am happy and excited about this new opportunity.
