Nederland - Hoenderloo, toverhazelaar
The special thing about the toverhazelaar (Witch Hazel) is that this shrub blooms in the winter months (from the end of December/beginning of January with yellow/orange spidery flowers).
The name toverhazelaar comes from the English "Witch-hazel", which is actually derived from "Wice-hazel". Because of this flexibility, this hazel is also said to have been frequently used as a dowsing rod.
The first witch-hazel imported into the Netherlands was the American 'Hamamelis virginiana'. This was a medicinal plant among the Indians. It is still used for medicinal purposes today
