| I was outside today in the relative warmth of this February thaw. I found witch hazel blooming here near Philadelphia! Yay! |
 |
| Witch hazel is a shrub. Its stem-hugging clusters of flowers give welcome color to the gray winter landscape. Click to enlarge. |
 |
| Each flower has four long slender petals that look to me like crumpled ribbons. |
 |
| Strange and lovely, no? |
 |
| They come in shades of yellow, too. Reassuring to see that nature is on track. Witch hazel in February. Daffodils before you know it. |
