    The flowers on cultivated witch hazel vary from yellow right the way through to a very dark purple almost black:) I'm particularly fond of the peach coloured varieties:wink:

    We get a gold start for trying.

    No sooner said than done. It has gone a lot lighter in colour since it first opened though.
