Forsythia is named after William Forsyth (1737–1804), a Scottish botanist who was a royal head gardener and founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society. It is sometimes called the 'Easter tree' because it blooms at the right time of year. Ours has been putting on a grand show this spring.

@RickGaehl I remember hanging eggs on them in my childhood. Since climate change, they bloom much earlier than even an early Easter in Alsace. Only this year we have luck because the cold with minus degrees conserved them.

@NatureMC That's a great custom, but did you also have the Easter Hare and an egg hunt in Alsace?
