It's Daphne time! What a pleasure to walk through the garden and enjoy colour and
fragrance,especially in the evening.
Most of them have a strong scent and only a few species don't smell.
As you can see,there are two different forms of D.calcicola.

Some photos from Ian Christie of  Daphne


D. circassica x arbuscula 'Maisie Larae' - Ian has  not tried  this outside yet.


Daphne 'Kelsey Ann' from Rick Lupp,  it came from Czech growers to me a wee beauty

note from Anne Spiegel :
Daphne 'Kelsey An'n  was  named for one of Rick's
granddaughters and unfortunately didn't last here. The other
granddaughter (Maisie Larae) also had a daphne named for her and that
one is absolutely superb in the open garden and crevice garden.


Daphne rosmarinifolius 'Gold Strike' collected 2003


Daphne x 'Bonnie Glen' a recent hybrid from Cyril Lafong grows well out in our raised crevice bed

 I think   Puss has gone to the great greenhouse in the sky now - but this is a nice memory.
