This is one of my two forsythias. They are supposed to have lots of yellow blossoms to herald the coming of spring. They don't have much in the way of blossoms, but I'll just be happy with leaves this year. At least it's not dead!

Now this one looks dead. It is a burkwoodii viburnum. It's supposed to flower in the spring too, and not only do I not have blossoms, but no leaves either. It might be a goner.
