It all started when I saw a post on Facebook where somebody had put an artificial forsythia branch in a Pyrex beaker. Mom had one of those bushes. It sat right outside my bedroom window and was so beautiful. So I posted the Pyrex idea on Facebook. Lo and behold my niece had one that was brand new. She came to visit me and brought it with her.
I tried it with daffodils for awhile because nobody carries forsythia flowers.
Then one day, I was in Dollar Tree of all places and they had a branch of it. I snatched it up and came home and put it in my Pyrex vase.
It now sits proudly on my Baker's rack. I just love it.
