Very nice indeed Giles. Another reason why this Forum should have a "smell" option!

Wow, you must be having better weather than me.  D. odora here is looking distinctly scorched and I haven't spotted any buds opening yet.  I'll be sure to check tomorrow though.

Dear Mark,
re 'Rupina La' :
It's a wild collection; tends not to shed much leaf in the Winter; is the darkest coloured bholua around but unfortunately is not hardy.
I bought it from Blackthorn last Summer and it has been in flower continuously since then, though the flowers produced over the Summer were a lot paler.

After having all flowers destroyed in the cold weather my Daphne bholua bought as Jacqueline Postill but more likely Gurkha has  burst in to flower again over the last few days. Is it possible secondary buds developed?

Giles you must have the best scented garden in your town

Lovely pics Giles. I think I have flower buds on my Jacqueline Postill.

Thankyou for the compliments, David.
Mark: 'Gurkha' should have a very strong upright habit. Mine is like a bean-pole.
