Thank you Dave and Martin.
Yes, my Hamamelis give a good show at the conventional time (Jan/Feb), but for the past few years the yellow one has also flowered in autumn, a lot less showily because the leaves are still on. Quite a lot of plants seem to give a secondary autumn display- primula, dog violet, Clematis alpina, medlar for example.
