Ah, the colors of blooming scented flowers in the winter garden - let's go!
Nothin' but yellow blooms for as far as the eye can see - witchhazel trees never cease to amaze me with the show they put on.
Looking down a typical long branch of a witchhazel. These trees have a stunning visible branch structure in the winter.
Looking up through Hamamelis Mollis blooms
A sight for the scents - sarcococca shrubs and witchhazel bloom at the same time during February, providing a complete sensory experience for the nose and eyes!
We grow them rhodies tall in these parts! I took this picture easily standing underneath the shrub. Those are 100+' tall douglas firs in the background
Red twig dogwood provides the perfect contrasting backdrop for the fescue in the foreground. These dogwoods need to be pruned to the ground each year to produce such red growth - the red color is the new growth.
Hamamelis Mollis 'Pallida' - The sweetest smelling of the bunch.
Notice the colors leading you down the path. The foreground is heather and heath, then sarcococca shrubs leading to the witchhazels
