New order

The blip is of a witch hazel.  The order of things is changing.  It used to be we had Autumn when the leaves changed colour and dropped off leaving bare branches.  A couple of months later we would be in winter when some spidery flowers would appear from the bare branches and they would throw out some scent.  It seems the order has now changed - the flowers are appearing just as the leaves are changing colour.  It seems they can't wait anymore.  There are some branches doing it the traditional way.  Strange.
