The Blooming Forsythias

Forcing Forsythias

Today I went outside and cut some forsythia branches. I put them in a milk bottle with some water and hopefully within the week I will have some blooms. I have done this for the past several years and it really brightens up the house. Here is a link if you want to know how to do it, although I don't follow all of those directions. http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/forcing/

Here is the before picture:

I will post another picture when (if) they bloom.
