Witchhazel in bloom

Oh was I excited to find this! My own orange witchhazel is small as yet with only a few blooms - but I was an hours drive away at a nursery, and in their display garden I found this beauty. The blooms are small, so it isn't possible to get a great shot from a distance. I took a dozen or so and was pleased with this one. I hope mine gets this big.

Do they have a scent ? I think they are very special!

@maggiemae - thanks Maggiemae - I love them. Some Hamamelis (witch hazel) are fragrant, but this variety, Jelena, is not.

Such a lovely orange color. This could do double duty as a representation of rust.
