At Ijams Nature Center
Albeit seems late in the season—since they normally bloom in November, the last plant to flower during the growing season—the witch hazel planted near the Plaza Pond in front of the Visitor Center was beautiful in yellow fringe on Saturday.
Apparently, there are two species of the witch: Hamamelis virginiana and H. vernalis in my area, and my sources tell me the latter blooms later, and I've been looking forward to writing a sentence where I could use a phrase that included both latter and later. So, there you go.
Rather than being an early sign of spring, it's a late sign of winter.
