00:00Think all flowers bloom in spring? Think again. Witch hazel defies the seasons. It blooms in the
00:08dead of winter when most plants are fast asleep. Its ribbon-like yellow petals look like tiny
00:14fireworks against the snow, and they smell amazing too. But this plant isn't just beautiful.
00:20Native Americans used its bark to treat wounds and inflammation. Today, witch hazel extract
00:26is still used in skin care all over the world. A winter-blooming healer with a magical name,
00:32witch hazel, is truly one of nature's surprises.
