silk tassels hanging from tree branches – very nice – you know all the latin names are you a master gardener?

Never heard of this tree as I’m sure it’s out of our growing range. Beautiful! I love seeing some green leaves on the tree also.

No experience with a silk tassel tree. Great shot and another “learning” for me.

never seen before, I think soon it will have it’s pollen fly around … I’m looking foreward to springtime and at the same time must think of my pollen-problem.

Nice DOF, and a great reminder of soon to be spring. I saw a witch hazel today. Looked and smelled good.
