Re: 'Gold Tide' Forsythia

Wheeee! You've just made me more grateful that I live where I do. While there's a chilly breeze today, the Forsythia, Quince, Witchhazel, Wintersweet, Lonicera fragrantissima (I've forgotten the common name on that - Sr. moment), 'Okame' Cherries, Hellebores, Pansies, Himalayan Sweet Box, Snowdrops, Narcissus, Crocus a nd others are blooming.

I think I'll have to butcher a couple of the volunteer Forsythia tomorrow,
and check the nodes. F. x intermedia is the most common here.
Which reminds me...  I should trim some of the branches off of mine and
bring them in to force now.
Lucky you to only have a couple of Hollies to have learned. We have a
bunch of Japanese, and Chinese, and opaca and glabra and vomitoria and
waaaay too many hybrids to learn them all easily. . Glabra and vomitoria of
course are no-brainers when in fruit. Nelly R. and Savannah are pretty
easy, too. Oh yeah, and there's I decidua...
I guess we did have I. decidua and I. verticillata.  But the similar
ones like I. x aquapernyi, I. x attenuata, I. pedunculosa, I. vomitoria,
etc. weren't hardy enough for us to deal with them.

I kind of wish they were, though.  :)
