For her it's the first shrub to bloom in late feb. or early march. You know I never noticed if it blooms in the spring too. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. :)magikalseasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782415318265540268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107440229425607566.post-56123386825458260402010-02-02T09:42:08.406-05:002010-02-02T09:42:08.406-05:00I still use Witch Hazel for my face.

You know there are other herbs that can grow in your area in shade. <br />Pam I'm sure you have it in wooded areas. :)magikalseasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782415318265540268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107440229425607566.post-53782908605110293622010-02-02T07:40:46.643-05:002010-02-02T07:40:46.643-05:00I love the smell of witch hazel, too. :) I'm n...I love the smell of witch hazel, too. :) I'm not sure if we have it around here, but I will keep an eye out for those flowers.

I don't think a cabinet is complete without the astringent made from the plant. In fact, just the smell of it makes me sentimental. When I was little, the name of it made me fascinated with all things witch--my mother grew curatives for teas in her garden, thinks she used to pick and sell during the depression era for money for locals making cures. I always thought she was a witch when she'd make me some chamomile tea. I still get all sentimental around the herbs and made my own curative teas for years until my garden became too shaded by a tree I didn't have the heart to cut down. This is a beautiful blog.

The blooms are so light and airy!<br /><br />The Witch Hazel we have around here is the same species as the one mentioned in the post and it blooms around the time of the Vernal Equinox.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918915129013117664noreply@blogger.com
