While reading Ngoc Minh Ngo’s book “New York Green” last fall I learned that Madison Square Park in Manhattan has an extensive collection of witch hazels. The flowers of witch hazels provide a sneak preview of the coming spring while still in the grip of winter. Spidery, crinkled petals are clustered along branches in hues of yellows, oranges, or reds, often delicately scented with spicy and sweet tones. Every January I cut some branches, bring them inside, and encourage them to bloom.
just perfect! almost like i was there♥️
