'Jelena' is a real beauty! I enjoyed last year's post, too. Almost a year of blogging - congrats!
How lovely Zoe, wish I had smelly vision.

Hi Zoe, I love this flower...you've captured its unique color and look beautifully. I am awaiting Diane's bloom and that of Hamamelis vernalis! I will check out your previous post.

LOL at Karen's "smelly vision." 'Jelena' is such a beauty. I'm going to have to wait a long time for my Witchhazel blooms.
What a gorgeous photo Zoe! This is the first time I have "seen" witch hazel.
Amy
Hi Zoe, how delightful. Jelena is a beauty. My Diane has opened a few flowers as well, but she should be more of a reddish orange like yours instead of the yellowish she is showing right now. Jelena might have to join her in my garden!
Frances
AND your first post was a masterpiece!
Frances
Hello Zoë, stunning photo, this Jelena sure is a beauty!/ Tyra
I love this plant! I have yet to add one to my landscape, though this spring may be the right time!
Great photo, and now I'm going to look at your previous post about Hamamelis...
~Aerie-el
What a beauty...and a fantastic shot!
I wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
Katarina
Sooo beautiful! I would like to grow her myself...

Hi Zoe - everytime I see a photo of Witch Hazel I think oh I must get one of those but I wonder what they are like the rest of the year?
How very handy, I just came over to have a look for the Witch Hazel post from last time!
Mine certainly isn't that one, I wish it was, it's fabulous!
Thank you again for the wonderful book, I rarely win anything so perhaps I should buy a lottery ticket this week too!
Hi again Zoe :-)
Just popped by to wish you “HAPPY HOGMANAY” and all the best for 2009 :-D
Ah… the witch hazel definitely on my wish list for 2009! Beautiful photo :-D
They are beautiful flowers and that is a particularly attractive combination of colours.
Two more weeks and you will have a candle to blow out :-)
Witch hazel is one of my favorite shrubs. I love the color in winter. Happy new year!
~ Monica
What a beautiful bloom. You must have a wonderful camera. I found you on blotanical.
Beautiful photo, Zoe! I've seen witch hazel pictured on Gail's and Frances' blogs as well; now I really want one of my own!
I saw the lovely birdhouse you were given on your other blog; what a thoughtful present! You will enjoy watching its visitors this winter.
I know that 2008 has not been an easy year for you. I wish you a happy and healthy New Year, Zoe!
Hi Zoe,
I enjoyed both posts. It is so interesting that the word comes from bending for use in water divining.
What a beautiful plant for blooms this time of year. Your photography is smashing.
Happy 2009!
Philip
A gorgeous and unusual flower...very lovely, Zoe. Thank you for sharing with us:)
Jan
I enjoyed both posts - thank you Zoe. I have not seen a photo of 'Purpurea' before and have fallen for it. A Happy New Year to you !
Hi Zoe,
I've been missing your posts lately. In case you feel like a trip to Seattle in Feb we are having a garden bloggers get together on Feb 7. http://greenwalks.wordpress.com/
I know you would be welcome and I have a comfy couch if needed.
Hope your worries are fewer this year than last.
-Jean
The wonderful petals remind me of one of my old favourite junk foods - a commercial sponge cake made by Steinbergs grocery store in Montreal - flavoured with orange (no doubt artificial orange)and then dipped in orange coloured descicated coconut icing. Sounds disgusting, but I assure you it was delicious. Hope today is a good day for you.
I love Witch Hazel and yours is a beauty, Zoe. Wishing you a blessed New Year!
Gorgeous photo.
A belated happy new year to you and yours, Zoe.
Zoë,
That is about the best capture of a Witch Hazel blossom I have seen.
Donna
I was sitting here thinking I had commented this beautiful witch hazel, but then I remembered I went and commented on the first post. Must be losing my mind. Anyhow, I have this funny quirk that it is a nice thing for all bloggers to have a comment on their first post-I see you have tons now. You just can't beat the witch hazels. Jelena is lovely.
superbe photo poétique...
à bientôt
dat is gorgeous, really really
is witchhazel one of those plants that looks better in photos than real life I wonder?
