I was driving down the road the other day and saw the most gorgeous blooming hedge; it was pure, dazzling white and intermixed with vibrant yellow Forsythia (a common sight recently). I didn't know what the white bushes were, I did know what they weren't: they weren't Spirea, it's still too early and they had a different growth habit, too; these were more sturdy, upright branches, more like a Forsythia! (Forthysia, Nancy!) I decided to do some investigation... I called Quilt Keemosabe and asked her if she would ask her daughter what this blooming shrub might be (young Q.K. knows all things plant related). She wasn't sure. I did some Internet research and learned that there is, indeed, a white Forsythia! I never knew that before. But that reminded me... three years ago when my daughter and I were in wedding-mode the florist had mentioned that, naturally, not all flowers come in all colors but every flower does come in white. I was surprised by that little known (to me) fact then, and was even more surprised to recall it again now! Who woulda thunk it? Yep, it's white and it's Forsythia!Life is Good!
