I came over a hill on my bike one day in January and ran smack dab into a cloud of witch hazel perfume!! It was a most magical experience. The aroma of witch hazel in nature just cannot be matched. Thanks for the additional information about it. I did not realize that it kind of blooms twice, that is pretty exceptional!

Best holiday wishes, with Iots of rest and hopefully some treats. Treats that don't make you ill, that's the trick isn't it!

I hadn't read my comments until later - I did eat a holiday treat at the neighbor's and it left me sick Christmas morning. Another day older another day wiser hopefully ;-)

TYVM Jen. Perhaps it's time for me to repost it. I have noted lately that many Substackers repost and "like" their own content. I tend to find that rather narcissistic, but perhaps when one is phishing for paid subs, self-promotion is more important. My goal is simply to share info I think matters. I'm glad you find My 2¢ helpful.
