Maybe to be forsythia (updated)

Surely early purple somethings, as well as daffodil, but what is that branch with yellow buds?  I spy forsythia!

I cut some and brought it inside to force it to bloom.

Right after cutting...


24 hours later

Ta da!  Just 48 hours inside and we have blooms!

    I love to bring forsythia inside to bloom. Haven't done so for a number of years. I know a vacant house with a forsythia bush -- dare I sneak a few branches? 48 hours and you have a lovely spring bouquet! -- barbara

    Forcing forsythia is such a beautiful way to hurry Spring along. (The little purple flowers are, I think, periwinkle.)
