buds of witch hazel aka hamamelis

The last time we visited Mottisfont, the witch hazel was just coming into bloom in the Winter Garden.

Such a strange plant but with the most beautiful and powerful fragrance.

Thank you so much for all your kind good wishes.

I am not familiar with Witchhazel, it looks really interesting :)

[Dione Giorgio]

This is strange, indeed. But it's a great photo opportunity.

Lovely shot. I'm sure the words witch and Hazel shouldn't be in the same sentence :)

Strange looking plant, but beautiful in its own way. I had never even thought of witch hazel as coming from a plant.
