Aye, Maggi, I thought the BD would smile. I wish I could preserve the Daphne smell for whenever a lift to the spirit is needed - according to another thread, we will be back to rain tomorrow, so could need that lift sooner, drat it. A few years ago I was lucky enough to see D bholua in the wild. The scent beneath the forest canopy was just wonderful. Among the pines etc were also Magnolia campbellii and Rhodo arboreum, plus lots more.

Franz, while everyone is so excited about Galanthus, Ian Young said that he thought it a shame that Leucojum were being passed over, so he said that we should have a name for those who champion the Leucojums, so, instead of Galanthophiles, these people and the pet name of the plants , are Leucojocks. "jocks" are also a joke name for scottish people, so it is a double joke for the Scots here.
I am sorry that we are using idiomatic phrases that are tricky for those with english as their second ( or third ) language.

Well done Ian :)
What cyclamen is it? Nice foliage on them. Hope the seedlings also have that colour.
