Witch Hazel (#Hamamelis virginiana) coming into full bloom right now. The spindly yellow flowers seem to pop up suddenly among twigs & branches. Part of secret: those long yellow petals are packed in #circinate, fern frond-like fashion in bud - look at crinkly spirals unfurling!

If you’ve ever wondered “How does #Hamamelis fit *so much* petal into such a small bud?”, here’s your answer: those long petals that emerge in late winter are coiled in #circinate fashion in bud, unspooling like a fern frond.. Here tiny, crinkly spirals of H. vernalis petals pop!
