    Plants of Hamamelis family are in bloom.
    I didn't know that some of Hamamelis family plants are blooming in fall after loosing leaves. It was very exciting to see these tiny red flowers!

    Disanthus cercidifolius ssp. cercidifolius. The flower comes with every leaf, how we didn't see this last time? We enjoyed leaves color and took pictures just a few days ago.

    Disanthus cercidifolius has not so many flowers, I spent time to find any.

    This hamamelis is in winter garden, I don't know what sp. it is and suppose it is blooming not in its proper time, but it looks gorgeous with yellow leaves and yellow flowers!

    The last is H. virginiana, and probably got into the winter garden as a rootstock for a winter-blooming kind such as H. x intermedia or H. mollis.
