Harbinger of Spring

Well, the Witch Hazel is blooming! It is the first plant that blooms for me and I am thrilled because it means Spring is on its way. The one pictured is Hamamelis × intermedia 'Diane', a red variety. Although the blooms are small, they are like fireworks exploding on the scene. If you have snow or cold right now, hang on because hope is on the way!
