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.
