Chinese Witch Hazel

A nice day, temps around 10° C. We rode our bikes to the Botanical Garden. It wasn't exactly jam packed, but there were a lot of people there considering there are almost no flowers. However, there is a little path dedicated to early blooming plants and shrubs. I was surprised to see how many little blossoms have already appeared and that some busy bees were at work already.
