    I make an exception for Forsythia suspensa .... not often seen but an elegant and beautiful plant with its blooms spaced out along the branches .... nothing like the yellow bottle-brush effect we see so often.   

    I've not knowingly seen this one, but  maybe one day I'll spot it

    " ...- F. suspensa f. atrocaulis has pale lemon-yellow flowers, standing out to great effect against its young purple stems and leaves..."

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I have one that could be an exception, certainly not in the yellow blob category

    Forsythia's flowering is both different and gorgeous.

    Does anyone else feel ill when seeing fasciated plants? I can't look. It makes my skin crawl.

    Don't like them either.  Certainly dont find them fascinating.
