💛🧡💛🧡

That’s lovely Richard, pretty spidery little flowers 😁💛🧡

Gorgeous 😍

I love this, beautiful sunlit photo💛

I hope so 🤞🤞🤞

Beautiful! So nice to see, mine is still a couple of months away. 😍😍😍

Thank you Cherie 😊 @cheriej it’s nice to see an early flower in the garden now. I do feel for everyone in areas like yourself where winter is long, I think I take it for granted that ours doesn’t involve as much snow! Hope you get to see yours soon 🤞🏼

It’s been so cold recently that lots of my bulbs are still in hiding, but I’m sure they’ll come up quickly now that it’s got a bit milder @pelly

Thanks Elise 🤗 - it took me ages to pick a Witch Hazel when I was looking to buy one. I like them all, but some are more fragrant than others. The ones that had an orange glow were my favourite and this was the one I bought 🧡💛❤️ @Auricula

Thank you Emma! One minute it’s bare, then the next it’s covered in flowers @ejonesy

Thank you Karen 😊 - always thought they were fascinating, as long as they don’t suddenly move then I’m loving them 🤣🕷️ @KOutdoors

Had a little wander around the garden this morning to see what’s in flower. Startled a sleepy mangy fox unfortunately, although not sure who was more startled me or him/her! Seemed ok and darted off through the hedge. And then noticed my witch Hazel next to hole was covered in flowers! Must plant it out this year, still in a temp pot 🙈

Love this colour 🧡

🧡🧡🧡

Maybe the fox was there to guide you towards the witch hazel 🤔

Beautiful, very unusual looking

Love that, the colours are lovely 😍

It’s like orange peel Elaine, always said when I bought one of these it would have to be this colour @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 🧡

Oh yes, quite possible! Either that or your word search as I got Witch Hazel 😲 - Will need to weed the pot and then find a permanent home for it @jacaranda

They certainly are Andreas @kamaki

Best combo in my opinion Jane. Although I do like the yellows and reds too. It was always a choice between this variety and another called Jelena but went for this one in the end @pelly

Witch Hazel 💛🧡 #hamamelis #hamamelisxintermedia #hamamelisxintermediavesna #witchhazel

Looks like a cheerleading squad! 💛

That’s beautiful ☺️

Lol! Yes it does actually 🤣 never thought of that before Susan @novicegardenlover

Thank you Marilyn, embarrassing to say it’s still in a pot 🙈 but it will get a permanent home next spring!

Thats gorgeous 😍

I need one of them - don’t see them around here - does it smell gorgeous?

Beautiful ☺️

Gorgeous colour Rich !! 🧡

Love nature's decorating

I always thought those were cool 🌞

Still looking amazingly well, it’s been in flower about a month now 💛🧡❤️ #witchhazel #hamamelis #hamamelisxintermedia #hamamelisxintermediavesna

Wow that’s gorgeous 💛🤩💛

Wonderful. Isn’t it great to have something so bright at this time of year 🧡

It’s lovely 🤗

Ooh, that’s so beautiful Richard 😍

Fabulous witch hazel Rich!💘😍

They certainly earn their place in the garden this time of year 👌🏻

Like little sunbursts 🌞🌞🌞

Fantastic Rich. Not seen one as floriferous as this 😍👍

I’m so pleased with this one Sue, it has surpassed all my expectations 💛🧡 @suerichards

It is Jacqueline 😊 when the suns out it just glows. I really hope it gets this number of flowers on it every year and that it’s not just a one off 🤭 @awomanonabike

Thanks Enid 😊 it’s got a lovely fragrance too. It’s a bit short right now so I have to bend down but maybe in a few years these will be at eye level! @godfreye

Nice bit of glow on the flowers this morning 😊🧡💛 #hamamelis #witchhazel #hamamelisxintermedia #hamamelisxintermediavesna

@richard.spicer.7906 ........... Wow ! ...... Richard, this is fantastic........ beautiful.

Thank you John, the flowers have opened up more than they were, and this was exactly the effect I was looking. It’s gonna look great in the woodland walk. Where it is now in its pot is roughly where I’ll be planting it. Will have some tall trellis soon in front of the polytunnel too @johninbrighton

You’ve inspired me, Rich. I must add some witch hazels to my garden! 🧡

This looks beautiful 🧡

Oh wow, that's gorgeous 💛💛💛

What a great sight 💛👍

That's gorgeous, so many flowers 😍

That's beautiful, what a lovely colour 🧡💛 I have one called Diane (after me 😉😂) it's orange.

Oh I have plant envy 🤩

Beautiful 😍 need one for next year 😋

I’ve been wanting a Witch Hazel for ages, and I couldn’t make up my mind which cultivar i liked best, then I found one two years ago at Wisley, but then couldn’t get it as out of stock online everywhere I looked. Then it randomly appeared at my local garden centre in November. Just on its own. So I snapped it up quick. I can’t even remember what I paid for it, although I was desperate so it wouldn’t have impacted me purchasing it 🤭.

It has just started to flower. When I was choosing it was between Vesna, and Jelena. Although when I did the sniff test, it seemed Vesna had a much stronger fragrance than Jelena. I’d like to get a red one too at some point but that can wait for now #hamamelis #hamamelisxintermedia #hamamelisxintermediavesna #witchhazel

They are very pretty, love the smell of them too

I love that one Richard...Mines a very boring yellow...

Beautiful Rich .. I need one of these too 😬😆

Definitely one for my wish list 👍😘

She’s a beauty 😍

Love the delectable fragrance

Blooms so super cute 🥰😍

They are all gorgeous, but what is it particularly about this one that you love Richard?

I’d get one of each colour if I could fit them in Elaine, some of the yellow ones have the strongest scent I think @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

It started off with the colour Vivien, and I decided to go with one called Jelena. It was nice burnt orange look, but when I saw one at Wisley a couple of years ago I was disappointed I couldn’t smell much. Maybe I’d missed it’s peak, but there was one planted next to it called Vesna which was virtually same colour and much stronger scent 😊👍🏼 @sadieberg
