This is for Amy - Hamamelis Molllis

Also known as Chinese Witch Hazel. They remind me of yellow spiders. We had a Chimonanthus some years ago and, yes you're quite right, Amy their smell is lovely too and the yellow is the same. But I think the HM is a different shrub. It's lovely having sweet smelling Winter shrubs isn't it?

Odd how plants in different parts of the country react/behave. Our HM started to come out about 10 days before Christmas. We then, as we do every Christmas, cut some for indoors and by the big day the house was filled with the most gorgeous scent. Somerset and Hampshire are, by comparison to Norfolk, much warmer and our shrub seems to thrive in the cold - and it faces north! Our shrub is 40 years old - perhaps the older the tougher!

Oh, well, it's something to look forward to.
