Etymology
The word 'forsythia' originates from the name of the Scottish botanist William Forsyth, who was a founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society. The genus was named in his honor in the late 18th century when these plants were first introduced to Europe from East Asia. Forsythia plants belong to the Oleaceae family, which also includes olives and lilacs. They have been cultivated for their ornamental value, and over time, various cultivars have been developed, showcasing different flower colors and growth habits. The association of forsythia with spring bloom and its bright yellow flowers have made it a symbol of the season in many cultures.
