A winter gift, Witch Hazel blossoms scent the yard with a sweet, healing aroma. I had to bring some inside and arrange in this unique vase sent to me by my cousin for Christmas.

It’s a wonderful room deodorizer all winter long. And the yard is scented with it too. I need to get a photo of the whole tree.
