My witch hazel is blooming now.  It is the 'Jellena' cultivar, and described
as being exceptionally pretty.  But at least this year, it is still holding
all of its leaves from last year, and they really hide the blooms!  I wonder
if that is all I can expect, or is it likely an effect of the very mild
winter?
