A Yellow Flowering Bush Beside the Front Door / myLot

East Tawas, Michigan

April 25, 2023 3:12pm CST

I was happy to view this pretty, flowering bush right by the front door. Only one week ago, we still had snow piled along the driveway. We didn't get a lot this winter, though. I'm not a person who toils and religiously weeds the flower beds. But, I do appreciate the lovely flowers, that come up each spring. I love seeing flowers! I don't know what kind of bush this is, if anyone knows you could let me know, OK? Thanks! The blossoms are kind of star shaped, trumpets. There are a few flowers that I recognize right away, snap dragons, geraniums, mums, roses, peonies, violets and lilies. We had beautiful tiger lilies that Mom planted many years ago, at the other house we lived in. For some reason, the peonies didn't come up every year. I'm not sure why this happened. All flowers need water, so I would definitely make sure they got enough moisture. Jay would spray them with rotten eggs, to keep deer from eating the flowers. Photo: Mine from yesterday

That's a Forsythia. A nice splash of cheery colour early in the year : )

I know if my dad’s wife was here she’d know. That woman knows everything about birds and plants.

My mother was very knowledgeable with flowers, also. Now that she's gone, I don't have anyone nearby to ask about this flowering bush:)

The Forsythia is very common around here. Other yards have a bush similar to this one:)

And throughout the years, it will probably spread and get fuller.

@Fleura is right, that is Forsythia. Those plants produce flowers in the early spring, Then the flowers fall and you get the green leaves. We have plenty of those bushes here, they use them to make hedges.
