Which Daphne please?

[Margaret]

Can anyone identify this Daphne for me please?  I've had it about 25 years.  Its 1200mm tall and the same wide and is scented.
Many thanks.

Hints of Daphne giraldii?

[Maggi Young]

Daphne pontica with that shiny foliage and spikey  twin flowers, I think.

Probably Daphne pontica   (or D. albowiana).
They are very similar, only the leaves are a little bit different.
But the fruits of D. albowiana are red and those of D. pontica are blue-black.

Isn't it the other way round, Jef?

Thank you Cliff, Maggi and Jozef. It's marvellous to get such a response so quickly. Afraid I've not noticed the colour of the berries. As with so many of my plants, I suspect it is growing in less than ideal conditions rather close to a willow and does not flower as profusely as the pontica that come up on a google image search. None the less I am very fond of it.

Bought this lost label Daphne from Blackthorn Nursery years ago. Flowers now, has small dull green leaves. Any ideas please!

[Maggi Young]

Looks like it may be deciduous rather than evergreen? In which case D. caucasica ?

[johnralphcarpenter]

Yes, very likely. Quite a lax shrub to around 1m. high/wide?

[Maggi Young]

Sounds right, Ralph. Open habit, semi-evergreen in places, yellow berries
