Take Advantage
Corylus avellana
Witchhazel Jelena

Snowdrop

Those of us addicted to garden literature have often envied English writers who seem to be constantly rushing outside in the dead of winter to count the number of different plants blooming in their gardens. Most years in New York, after you pull on your boots, mittens and hat, you have to be content with admiring the fall of snow on the evergreens or noting the subtle variations of color and texture on the bark of deciduous trees. Not this year. However unnerving it is to have a string of 60 degree days in January and February, let us enjoy this unusual winter. At last, we too can wax poetic about the scent and delicacy of the Witchhazels, the pale green of the filbert catkin and the diminutive snowdrop. Take advantage--Central Park is relatively ablaze, and it's probably going to snow in April.
