Can anyone identify these flowers for me?

I do not know what kind of flowers that they are but they are pretty ! And it is not fair that you have flowers in March when I still have snow . :-)

Thank you, Wendy. I think they are really pretty too... and they have them all over the place there. I hope you guys get some flowers soon!

Looks like forsythia to me. Beware that they attract alot of bees.

Looks like some kind of lilly or daffodil...But sounds like Kathleen knows.

Faith - were the flowers on a tree or a shrub with long, drooping branches? They do look like forsythia to me as well, but the stem is a little different from the shrub I know. Of course there are probably different varities that grow in Oregon.

Tonia - yes... they were on long, drooping branches and it looks like the consensus is Forsythia. Great job... everyone on Gather always knows SO much about nature. I just love it, I'm learning so much.

Deb: Yes, it does sound like Kathleen knows, as well as J F. Thanks for stopping in, Deb!

can't help you, pretty though

Yes they are forsythia
and they look beautiful in your picture

I have to agree, they look like forsythia. We have one in our front yard and they are SO pretty!

My Forsythia blooms in the spring right around April 15 - a cheery sight after finishing the income taxes! When the forsythia blooms it's also an indication that the soil has warmed up enough to fertilize the lawn, roses, trees, and shrubs.

We had them when we lived in Pennsylvania.
Yes they do attract bees as a child I ran into forsythia, and had bee stings everywhere.

Now I live in Florida & deal with 'skeeters and a whole host of no-see-em's!

Forsythia grows in Indiana & is usually, as someone already mentioned one of the first flowers to bloom. It's bush-like and can get pretty big. Nice photos, Faith.

Amelie B: That is too bad that you're allergic to so many of them. What a bummer. I'll keep sharing the pictures with you though!

Amy B: Ha, that is really funny. I can imagine that would be a cheery sight after taxes. I never knew that about Forsythia, so that is cool that once they bloom you know it's warm enough to do other things in the yard!

Shannon W: That is neat that you have one in your front yard too. I love them.

Dani D: You know... I never looked at your profile, so where in Oregon do you live? Sorry they make you sneeze!

Beautiful pictures. I am in agreement that it is forsythia.

If anyone has ever watched Homefront, they will remember the stripping of the wealthy woman's forsythia bushes. They had been the favorite flower of a young woman who was killed. They picked all the branches off the bushes to make funeral sprays.

Thanks so much, roxanne m: I have never seen that movie, but that sounds like a very powerful scene.

Thanks, barb w: That is neat that they grow there too... I'm always so curious when it comes to what grows where.

Ugh, Elaine: Your run in with the bees sure sounds awful! I love your names for bugs. Skeeters and no-see-ems. Haha! Great.

I knew what they were, but so many other already told you, so I'll just call them pretty, little, yellow flowers.

I woudl agree with the forsythia ( pardon my spelling ).

these look like lillies, If they are lillies then yes they do grow around where I live. They are very beautiful though

I miss forsythia. It does not grow well in South Dakota.

Very up close and personal! It's always fun to get a new perspective on something
many of us see and enjoy year after year. Ours aren't blooming yet, but will be soon. They are a lovely first sign of Spring, and really go all out by producing a huge
bouquet of yellow blossoms. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos!

You get a lovely Ten... Yea For you!!!! :)

Also hun,

If you have not yet already submitted this to my group called: "C" ~ Articles/Images That Start with the letter "C" (All subjects matter allowed...). Please do so...

But if you had sorry I have not approved it just yet... Fell kind of behind due to appointments so far this week... :)

Forsythia. My grandmother had many of this bush flower growing on the home property. I have not seen any since I moved from PA. I don't think it grows/thrives well in Georgia soil either.

Thanks, Marianne R: That is too bad that you haven't seen any since you left PA, but I'm happy the sight of these brings back memories of your grandmother.

Audrey LC: Yes, it is definitely in the air! I am glad you liked this one.

Felicia R: Thanks, I actually did publish this one to your "C" group and I've been happy when I've realized when articles begin with "A", "B" or "C", because then I know I can send them your way. I think those groups are pretty darn cool, thanks. I see that you must have approved it because now it's showing up in my list of groups above. Thanks for the 10. I LOVE that number! ;o)

Well, your question has been answered. Beautiful bush and flowers. They look nice in a tall vase on the dinner table.

Nana D: Yep... it looks like it has. I still appreciate you taking the time to stop by and comment. I would imagine these would look SO nice in a tall vase. Maybe I'll have to do that and take some pictures for Gather!

Larry H: Thanks, as always, Larry!

High Flying Spider Woman Liz Rice-Sosne: Thanks for pitching in, Liz! I hope you've been doing well and it's great to see you on one of my articles!

~Connie~ C: Aww, thank you, Connie! I appreciate the compliments. The original pictures were pretty neat with no tweaking, but I increased the saturation some on these pictures, that's why the background has that magenta color.

David Smith: Thanks, David. I've been having so much fun with these macros.

Kathleen G: I can't wait for them to start growing there either. Thanks.

J F: I have heard that they attract a lot of bees. I will remember that next time we go over there and let the kids know too. Thanks!

Eileen W: Why, thanks!

Rob Appell: Well, thank you for still leaving me a nice comment even though everyone already jumped in and answered my questions for you! I agree with you. I think they are pretty, little, yellow flowers too. :o)

Dani D: Thanks. That is really neat that we live so close. (Only an hour away!) I used to spend a lot of time in Eugene when I was younger. I love the Saturday Market because they have some WONDERFUL vendors there. I always get so inspired when I go there and think "I could do that!" and then come home and never try. Haha. Do you like Eugene?

Charles AB: Thanks, and it looks like you're right! I don't think you even need to apologize for your spelling either, because that looks right too. :o)

Alicia Storey: Thanks as always for stopping by and commenting on my article and pictures. You are so loyal! Looks like these are Forsythia, but you're right - they do look like lilies. Thanks for the great compliments.

Melissa I wanna be a pirate princess when I grow up: I still love your screen name, it's so cute. Maybe you should move to Oregon so you can see some of these flowers again - I'm just kidding!

Val G: Thanks... I found out that I really like to take macro pictures, so I've been having fun with all the spring blooms! I hope your bloom soon and you're very welcome for sharing.

Stanley Nipper: Why, thank you! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting on my article.

Wonderful shots of a pretty flower. I do not think I ever saw this one before.

Ohhhhh.....so THAT'S what forsythia looks like! :-)

Beautiful pics!

I thought at first plumeria but they have five petals and forthysia have four petals.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Forsythia that greets a new spring here in SO Wisconsin. Beautiful pics!

I would be surprised if they were forsythia. Theylook like some form of orchid and the orchids are blooming now.

forsythia for sure im waiting for mine to bloom

Faith, Homefront was a great tv show that was on ABC in the 90's about Post World War 2...fabulous program

pretty .. wish I had flowers here << looking out window and sighing at the mounds of half melted snow

Yep, forsythia..........we don't have any growing here, but they grew all over where I lived in the Carolinas!

hi, pretty girl! the forsythia at our house is in full bloom now. i planted the one we have because your grandma had one at her house, between hers and great grandma's.

Sorry, Faith, everyone...I'm probably wrong, but Forsythia blossoms seem to have 5 petals, while Faith's blossoms have 4. n I posted a picture of forsythia just now at:

Take a look. We may have to guess again.

I really have no idea on flowers, but they are pretty.
Do they have a scent? Is it strong?

The weekend is here I hope it never ends
But I’m so afraid that Monday is just around the bend
So I’ll just enjoy my family until the day is through
