Several of these witch-hazels (Hamamelis x intermedia 'Arnold Promise' (probably)) greeted TPP this morning by the gate to my university's quad. The bright yellow flowers look quite cheerful against the gray wall and among the gray stems. What a harbinger of spring! Red-orange flowered witch-hazels (probably a variety called 'Diane') were nearby, but they are less showy generally. In this part of the world these are often the first plants to flower in the spring. And they are tough and have good fall color. What's not to like?
I bought one of these from our local garden center recently. Its currently sitting in a pot outside awaiting planting, looking lovely, slowly losing its yellow.
