The other day me and my friend were walking in Brooklyn Heights discussing our studio future and we both noticed a small shrub in a whiskey barrel. Forsythia? No, clearly not. But what is it? Hmm..., the flowers looked like little lanterns. Has an Asian lineage, possibly.
Well, I found out what it was when
The Occasional Gardener had a post about it the next day. I think we discovered this shrub on the same day! Of course, there was an enormous one (compared to the diminutive specimen we saw) at the entrance to Wave Hill.
Look out Forsythia, Winter Hazel Buttercup
Corylopsis pauciflora (hardly paucitous!) is on your tail.
