  2. Ah, I see three photos in this post from Oregon, USA, where I live. Witch hazel does not grow naturally here, but the hazelnut (aka filbert) is a similar sounding plant that Oregon leads the nation in.

  6. Thanks for visiting, everyone.
    Snowbrush, the witchhazel seen here is not a native to our area, it is a hybrid called "Fire Charm". It's a fabulous gaden plant with flowers in the very early spring (March) and great colored foliage in the fall.

    Oh, my god, I didn't notice that you were from Eugene! I am too. I suppose the title of your blog might have given me a clue. My wife, Peggy, and I moved here in 1986. I was 37 and had spent my entire life in Mississippi before the move.
