forsythia
Early spring shrub
Forsythia is a shrub that produces clusters of bright yellow flowers in early spring, often before its leaves appear.
Native to Asia and southeastern Europe, it's among the first plants to bloom after winter, making it a common sight in gardens and hedgerows: The forsythias are blooming—spring is finally here.
