Hazelnut flowers

Hazelnut flowers
I believe these are the flowers of the local Hazelnut, a small tree with small edible nuts.

Well Ron, definitively not a Hazelnut in an european sense (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeine_Hasel - I took the german site, because the images are more and better). How could it, you mentioned, it is a local hazelnut - and Europe isn't really local in the state of Washington. ;-)
It is a Hamamelis, what is named by wikipedia as Witch-hazel (and I found it very interesting, it has nothing to do with a magican. It origins from middle english wiche, which means bendable, pliant - and is so close to the nowadays german weich = soft, but also bendable etc. ... except the last bit, you can read all that on wikipedia article Witch-hazel).
All I still wonder is, which variety you found. All I could read about their home, was the north-east, from Nova Scotia to Minnesota, and south from Florida to Texas ... H. mexicana growths in north eastern Mexico and I know, the mexican border once was further north. But that far?? ;-)
So, what did you get in front of your cam? A refugee out of a garden, or did you discover a new variety?

We are here to show and "talk" about photographs, aren't we? Well, I am afraid, I am more gardener than photographer ... sorry.

Hi Leon,
My first thought, too, was that this was a witch hazel, but it was in an area where I would not expect a garden escape. Nevertheless, I think that is exactly what it is and probably Hamamelis mollis which was imported to the Pacific Northwest. I'll have to watch it when it blooms again, but that will be a few months.
