It was a sunny morning and I'd heard the hamamelis (aka witch-hazel) was in bloom at Elk Rock Garden. I had a couple of hours before I needed to be anywhere, and the garden was still open to the public (no one knows for how much longer, due to the property changing hands), I figured why not?![]()
Since I'd already paid my final respects to Elk Rock Garden here on the blog, I went intending to just stand under the confetti blooms and smell their glorious sent. No photos. No blogging. You can see how well I did with that.

I had to take photos, I just had to. They were so beautiful.

There was also the strong memory of this being the place where I first smelled the fragrance of these blooms that everyone carries on about. It had previously been lost to me.

These trees are part of my gardening history. I will miss them.

Thus I honor them here by taking photos one last time and sharing them with you...

I only wish I had someway to share the scent...
