A South African who regularly leaves her home in the beautiful Dordogne to explore Africa from the back of a truck, to walk pilgrimages in Europe and in Japan, to travel to unknown corners of our beautiful planet, to write, to travel, to photograph and to paint, to observe the wondrous world around us
Be it the modest delicate pear trees in their soft wisps of cloud-like white blossom on the banks of the canal, or the bold and daring splashes of bombastic yellow of the forsythia, or the tufts of candyfloss pink of the cherries and the plums, nature's palette is alive with the colours of spring in the Dordogne. Crisp cold starlit nights and balmy sunny days -- now is the time to be here!
The plant taxonomy of border forsythias is Forsythia x intermedia. They are a hybrid of greenstem forsythias (Forsythia viridissima) and weeping forsythias (Forsythia suspensa). This plant profile deals with Forsythia x intermedia. Forsythia plants are sometimes given the common name, "golden bells." Note: forsythia is often misspelled as either "forsynthia" or "forcynthia."
Wilna - I must admit, now I envy you a bit...... Looking out my office window at the gray, gray winter landscape outside, I really could bear being in the Dordogne spring... Love, Inga
