Can you believe it?! She shipped it from PA to OK in a priority mail box, wrapped in a wet paper towel, enclosed in a Ziploc bag. Exactly the way I would have shipped it. I think she sent it on Monday? And it arrived Thursday afternoon, still green! How sweet!
So I immediately grabbed my camera and photographed it (isn't that what you're supposed to do after opening your mail?), then took it to the kitchen, where I plopped it into a big cup of water, like so:
I just had to share. Thank you, Karen! You ROCK!!!
Until I write again ...

Hi Flea, I stopped by, haven't been over for ages! What a nice gift for you to come home too. I'll look forward to seeing that baby blooming someday.
Take care.
That's awesome! Karen is pretty awesome (but then so are you!).
Have a great weekend
LOL! Soon you'll be posting how you can't kill it either!
I love my forsythia..and I have managed death by Melissa yet, either!:)
Look at that thing thrive! I'm telling you, there's no killing those things. Your hubby may have something different to say about it in a few years.
I have one growing in a pot on my kitchen windowsill - I have been meaning to get it in the ground all summer :)
Isn't Karen great!! I love her, too. Glad you got some mail.
What a totally great gift!!!
I expect to see it 10 times that size by next spring.
That is wonderful! I bet it will be blooming by next Spring!
Hope your plant lives a happy life!
Thankyou for visiting my blog, & leaving me a comment!
I love your messy pics! Very similar to mine, & I bet you are like me, & know exactly where everything is!
How great, can't wait to see the progress.
That is so sweet of your friend! Can't wait to see what it looks like planted. :o)
Isn't Karen uber nice? Love her - and her awesome homemade stuff!
I have a line on some awesome Parachute Fern. Plenty to go around.
My mom could kill a cactus. Yep. Drowned it. I inherited my brown thumb from her. No real idea how to make anything grow.
Your friends rock!
How awesome is that?
How nice! She is a wonderful woman, and those beautiful kids of hers,...
your pretty cool too, and cute.
That is so sweet! I'm really impressed that the cuttings did so well in transport.
I hope you like the forsythia. My MIL had one and it was muy intrusive.... But lovely!
Thanks for sharing...Karen sounds all sorts of great, that was very nice of her!!!
That is so totally cool! I wonder if I could possibly substitute Forsythia for the Trumpet Vine? Nah, probably not. That *&%(*%$ Trumpet Vine is the ruler of our yard, which would mean a major war against the two. Heaven forbid!
sooo cool! cant wait to see it bloom!
