Daphne 2014- 2015

[mark smyth]

As so many of us grow small and large Daphnes I thought it would be good to creat a new home for them so we can go through one thread when making our wants list.

I'll kick it off with 'Lawrence Crocker'. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday and today

Lovely little thing, Mark.  I've got a couple of these now too, waiting patiently for them to show their flowers.

Didn't you put the wrong name under the pictures though?  Confusing when it says Dianthus....

I refuse to answer on the grounds I might incriminate myself

Good to see there is more than me at it. Makes me feel better.

Hey, how did you change the picture caption on the post?  Didn't know it was possible.  Do tell....

[Michael J Campbell]

Chris, Click modify in your post,then click additional options, untick the pic you want to change then click save, then re post the modified pic with the name changed in your photo editor. that should do it

I mentioned already about ZZ and others putting Daphne cuttings in balls of clay. He says

"I have tried this method in October and I rooted 80% of inserted
daphnes in clay balls including one Astragalus angustifolius.
The author of the method Mr. Odvarka uses only half inch balls
now and dipping cuttings into charcoal wit high success."

Here is the proof that it works

Fantastic Karl. It's better than mezereum by far. Do you prune it?

For the last time I'll show you 'Lawrence Crocker' again. It just amazes me with it's flower power for such a small plant. If you want it's size I can go out and measure it

Like its own private little dose of muesli bar.
