Witchhazel finally open......

Oh yes you say - we won't have to endure so many more pics of this plant! It's a filler - I took the pic on Sunday but nothing I took today was worthy of posting.

Lovely focus Jan, I like the spidery look.

Fabulous dof

[Paula]

Is that what witchhazel looks like? I never would have guessed! I use it all the time. Your focus and background is quite beautiful here.

@westcoastwallis - thanks Paula - the most common kind is a yellow one - more fluffy looking. This is a cultivar I got from a nursery - the color is unusual for a witchhazel - but yes, this is what it looks like. I love it because it flowers in January/February when the garden otherwise is dreary.

I love the color and the way they look a bit like sea creatures and or spiders.

@judis - thanks Judi!

@inkie - Thanks Meiki - My hubby's family is german origin - but the Koos is actually pronounciation of my last name - it starts KUS but people always want to call me Jan KUSS...... so KOOS is a play on that. :-)
