Hi David. Great pictures. Do you know the parentage of Daphne 'spring sonnet'?

Yes, it is nice Anne, but inclined to be tender according to the reading although my conditions have never bothered it.

Some details about parentage below.

Anne and David,
My experiences with D.latymeri Spring Sonnet are not bad in our climate, I had no
damage by frost during the last 10 years, but this year some nasty night frosts
harmed the open flowers, but the rest of the plant is o.k.
Attached are some more photos of Daphne plants from this spring, some of them
are still in flower.
About 5 years ago I noted a small seedling unlike the usual weeds, it flowered for
the first time this year. The parentage is uncertain, but it looks not bad for my taste.

Super plants Rudi.
My Daphne calcicola is in flower now. Very nice, but there is some dieback and I have not succeeded with a single cutting..... :-[

Three Daphne:

Central is a metre-wide D. cneorum 'Velky Kosir', with an even bigger (despite frequent pruning) D. tangutica to the right and D. alpina just coming into leaf at the left.

D. genkwa brings memories of D. mezereum, alas we have to wait till spring for it.
So, here it is D. x transatlantica Eternal Fragrance that goes around here and in flower now (supposed to flower spring and again in the fall). Seems a bit different, flower shape and colour speaking. Even when in bud doesn't show that deep colour.
I am waiting to see how will behave in its first winter, the leaves said to be evergreen in zone 6, deciduous in lower ones....

Apparently there is also a 'Pink Fragrance' which is a deepish pink, much like Fermi's plant, as well as 'Eternal Fragrance' which I understand to be largely white but a flush of pink especially on the outside of the flower neck. Beautiful colour in Fermi's gwenka.

Gabriela  - There is yet another x transatlantica cultivar that Briggs Nursery (likely responsible for all the x transatlanticas in N. America) propagated en masse about 10 years ago.  It was called 'Summer Ice' and had a fine white edge to the leaves, can be very hard to tell from 'Eternal Fragrance' if it reverts to green leaves.

I wonder if it is seasonal as I don't remember it being so dark a pink before and it has been a much colder winter than usual.
I was keen to get this plant after our 2011 visit to Robin White's nursery prior to Alpines 2011 (even though he wielded a big stick :o;D
A pity that no one has decided to import some of his Daphne petrea cultivars :'(
Again I'll ask if anyone has seed to spare of D. petrea (it's on our "Allowed" list) please let me know!<insert pleading emoji>
