But if not, hopefully there will be plenty of opportunities in 2013!<br /> <br />Thanks for posting the photo of the winter-blooming witch hazel that Cath spotted during your trek. It piqued my curiosity and when searching the Internet I ran across an interesting article at the website for the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Here it's stated that the Witch Hazel would be a better choice for the NH state flower than the Purple Lilac.
