The Snow Has Melted! (or just about)

Sometimes the winters here in Buffalo feel like they last until summer. How wonderful it is to see little things popping out of the ground. Winter is on its way out! I have spotted little Galanthus nivalis, or Snowdrops, in bloom. This is a small plant that grows from a bulb with small white flowers.

Not commonly viewed, but just as much enjoyed, is a shrub that I spotted in flower. Hamamelis or Witchhazel is a woody shrub or small tree. Lovely, yellow flowers are a nice sight in this late winter/early spring time of year.
