Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) blooms in October and November, providing nectar for Owlet Moths.

Unique flowers that make me think of yellow straps of shredded coconut. The blooms closely spaced make it difficult to tell but each flower has four petals that curl up on cold days and unfurl on warmer days.

Blooming after their leaves have fallen to the ground the little trees or shrubs grow to 20 or 30 feet tall with a multi-stemmed clump of 15 to 20 feet wide.

With its leaves gone, the flowers join in the autumnal revelry!
