The flower forms by going through many different stages. The flowers start out as stems or branches. Then the flowers start to bud. After the buds form and get bigger they will open up to be flowers. In the pictures above I have shown a timeline of the Forsythia's life from branch to flower. Soon the flowers will be popping up very soon.

The Forsythia bushes are a sign because I think everyone knows that flowers are a beaken that flares when spring is finally here. The best part about the Forsythia bush is that it is the first bush youwill see blooming in the spring. Everywhere you look, you will see big bushes of happy yellow flowers. These blooms will last for about one to two weeks. Once they pass other bushes and tress will bloom and take their place.

This is a verity of flowers that have started to flourish. They are in my yard to the right and have started to spread out all over the place! Soon this bud from a lilac will grow into leaf. Maybe it will grow and bloom in early May. The seedum will start to bush. Then in late August it will bloom.

The cone flower may not look like much else but a bunch of leaves. It will grow to be a beautiful purple flower in the summer like as early June. The crocus is going to bloom SOON like early April. It is one of the first to bloom. At times it will push through the snow if the ground is thawed.
