Help Identifying Shrub

| I saw a shrub last summer with long stems of small, bright yellow, bell shaped flowers. It was about 3ft. high and about 3ft. wide and the flowers were stunning. I was so sure I could find it on the net and could have my own this year. I've searched and searched and can't find it. Can anyone help me figure out what it could be. Thanks |

| Forthysia is the first that comes to mind, but I'd think of that as spring rather than summer. Potentilla isn't bell-shaped, nor is buddleia or erigonum. Can you tell us more, such as, was it in full sun or shade? in the wild or a park or a roadside or a garden? Was it on a hillside, or near water? Where did you see it, I mean which part of which state? -- maybe we can narrow the choices by using climate as a guide, was it in mountain, valley, plains, hill country? |

| Sounds like forsythia to me too. Ours is gorgeous right now. It's planted along side a barn/shed in our back yard. The yellow really pops next to the barn red color. Beautiful. |

| Thanks meldy and lemon. I will definitely check out forsythia. The shrub I saw was in a garden in front of someones house, in full sunlight, in Ontario, Canada. It was mid-summer. I liked it so much, I just have to have one. |
