Hamamelis 'Arnold Promise' flower

oh dear you do realise this is now going to HAVE to go on the wish list don't you!

It,s lovely Spritz !

You have all kinds of things blooming in your garden Spritz, I'm sooo jealous...lol. Spring is just around the corner, are you getting nervous about opening up your garden yet ? I know I'm getting excited for you, just thinking about it...lol. Can't wait to hear how your 1st showing goes . I just know it will go great !

Of course I am, especially as I have lost lots of plants to the dratted frost! I shall be the best customer at the Garden Centre in May, I reckon, filling the gaps!

Thanks for your confidence - it does help!

Man...., I hate to hear you lost alot of plants, sounds like you have had an unusally cool winter so far. I'm confident you will turn this negative into a positive, and it will turn out even better than before !

Good luck with the garden opening. It takes a lot of hard work, I used to open up my garden at the other house when we lived there, and I used to go round tidying up right up to the evening before, getting everything just so. The people who visit usually have a really good time, but with the English weather you never know how many are going to turn up although rain never seemed to put people off too much.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I love it - and much better than my photo of the same; but such a wonderful plant - winter scent, nice form in leaf and glorious Autumn colour.

Lovely plant - I've just got to get one, I hear the scent is superb!
