Seeds & new Forsythia plants

Today I planted the Forsythia I had cut & brought indoors for flowers over the winter, it has rooted, so now I shall have 4 more bright yellow bushes next spring. I planted the seeds I had collected over the fall last year in a seed tray, time will tell if I'm successful. My Curly Red Willow is looking majestic covered in little green leaves, to think I brought that home from the S.E. Flower show about 3 yrs ago as a twig!
