Silver-veined green leaves, yellow flowers in early spring. It prefers more shade than common forsythia, so we have it growing among other shrubs near our neighbors' arborvitae hedge. That may be a bit much shade, actually, but it still manages to produce some flowers every year.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. One or more images of this plant are included in my stock photo catalog About my plant portraits
