As soon as I have a decent photo, I’ll put it on my blog.

This sounds like a really cool shrub. Do share a photo of yours in bloom. I enjoy forsythia elsewhere, but have opted out of planting any in my yard for the very reason you note – they’re a flash in the pan. A client of mine has a stand of abeliophyllum – the “white forsythia.” Though not a true forsythia, it has the same form and is nearly ready to bloom now. Again, these are wonderful in bloom, and the fragrance is fantastic, but otherwise the shrubs are not at all appealing.
