bewitched

I love witch hazel (why wouldn't I?) with its strange spidery shapes and its gorgeous scent. I like its 'proper' name too - hamamelis - now I've learned how to pronounce it.

We saw this in the winter garden at the arboretum.

Beautiful macro.
There are two witch hazel bushes in our garden, blooming since December; I love their fragrance.

For me too, this is one of my favorite plants. About names,... in my language we also say Zaubernuss "magical nut". Wonderful picture by the way.

That's very interesting and looking at macro shots I've taken I can understand where Zaubernuss fits in. Thanks for your comments.

I love the sharpness in the foreground and how well the background fades away
