Field Notes

Description:

Small leaflet yellow flowers about 5cm big. They usually grow as shrubs with grey-brownish bark.

Habitat:

Native to eastern Asia, and also southeastern Europe.

Notes:

/from Wikipedia:/ It is widely stated that forsythia flowers are able to produce lactose (the milk sugar). Lactose is very rarely established in other natural sources except milk. However, the presence of lactose could not be confirmed. The actual fruit is a dry capsule, containing several winged seeds.
