Forsythia is an interesting shrub. It belongs to the olive family, originated in Asia, and appeared in European gardens around the mid-19th century. American hybrids were developed around the time of WW1. Although it is sometimes called ‘golden bells’ its most common name is the same as its latin genus name, after Scottish botanist William Forsyth (1737-1804), who was head royal gardener and a founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society. Its branches are used to make bow a Korean stringed instrument called the ajaeng.
In the language of flowers, it represents great anticipation, strength and suppleness.
