Forsythia

The popular garden plant Forsythia is a deciduous shrub native to eastern Asia with bright yellow flowers that are produced late winter / early spring before the leaves.

Forsythia flowers have a very special and generally unknown characteristic !
They are able to produce not only nectar but also lactose which is very rarely established in other natural sources except milk.

Dutch name : Chinees klokje
German name : Forsythie (auch Goldflieder oder Goldglöckchen genannt)
Latin name : Forsythia

    Perfect balance of the light and contrast, not easy with this kind of flowers.
    Congratulations Mark.
