Forsythia is a genus of flowering plants in the olive family, native to Eastern Asia. One interesting fact about forsythia is that its yellow flowers are one of the earliest signs of spring, often blooming before the leaves have grown back on trees. In fact, forsythia flowers can appear as early as February in some regions, making it a welcome sight after a long, cold winter. Additionally, forsythia has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, including fever, inflammation, and respiratory problems.
