Hamamelis virginiana,witch hazel calyx Howard County MD, Helen Lowe Metzman
Seems like the pharmacy is mostly full of long-winded chemical names these days....but you can still find the astringent Witch Hazel in almost any drug store and how nice to know that it is a native plant. These are the left over calyx parts from the fall blooming plant. Plant collected and photographed by Helen Lowe Metzman
