One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)

Hamamelis vernalis.....it's hard to find flowers now in Fern Valley, but I knew where to look
The Ozark Witch-hazel is about the only game in town for flowers, but they're a great color and smell wonderful. At MANTS, the big regional trade show, I noticed that all of a sudden there are cultivaars of our native Witch-hazels, H. virginiana and vernalis. There have , of course, always been innumerable selections of H. x intermedia, the cross between the Chinese and Japanese Witch-hazels.
