Stunning , mine is along time coming .......

I nearly missed mine! if it hadnt been for karensusan putting a photo on [which reminded me to go and look] i might have missed it altogether!
thanks amy, hope yours comes out soon

Note to diary .......

good point driad! mind you with the funny weather we have nowadays, its sometimes a problem to know which month to note it down!

Too right! It is the same temp here as it was in June.....10C! I hope we get an early spring!

The moral is ~ don't stay out of your garden for too long ~ you might miss something!!

Very true!

:-)

I usually don't see witch hazels blooming until February or March here, is it getting warmer there? I like the yellow flowers, some of the most fragrant types are that color.

it certainly seems warmer Rk, but i think it would be normal for maybe january february here. we have a particularly mild spell at the moment.

there is a fragrance on this one but its not very strong, its right by my back door but i cant smell it as i go out [sadly]

Wow, what a stunning blossom Sticki and fab photo...its just no good, I'm going to have to invest in one of these!

i love them janey, thank you ~ just so nice to have something so cheerful in january!
i have a clematis climbing through this one too
