Fantastic Winter Blossoms
The Winter Aconites at Wegerzyn Gardens, a Five Rivers Metro Park in Dayton. The Eranthis hyemalis blooms beneath the deciduous canopy where the sun reaches the ground. Winter Aconite creates a golden carpet, and has even been know to bloom above a snow cover. 
,The forty different Witch Hazel, a feature at this park, are beautiful.
Witch Hazel, Hamamelidaceae, is a deciduous shrub, or small tree which grows to about 15 feet tall. Dozens of Hellebores were not to be outdone.The Witch Hazel blossoms are not only colorful, but fragrant, as well.
Blooms AND a 47 degree day in February, AND a clear blue sky.
Thanks for strolling along with me today. c

Witch Hazel is one of those I wish I still had room for but I don't. They are really nice shrubs. Alteast I have my winter blooming Heather going right now and I am so appreciative of that while we wait for Spring to come to us.

Really enjoyed looking at these. I especially like that you took full bush shots, too - not something you often see, but so important.
