And a triple Wow! Wow! Wow! from me too!!  :o

I have definitely got to track down petraea by the looks of it.  Not something I've ever found available here in Australia, but I am visiting a garden in the blue mountains in a couple of weeks that sells some miniature Daphne, so I can but hope she might have some for sale.  Fingers crossed!!

Thanks for the pics, Michael. 8)

Well thank you Michael. I'll be very happy to accept this one, especially if you'll deliver it today. I'm making scones this morning. Will you have tea or coffee?

Pleased to see 'Wilhelm Schacht.' Alas my own tiny plant died before it flowered. I hope my generous donor will do another cutting for me. ::)

An unnamed clone of Daphne gemmata. D. gemmata belongs to the Wikstroemia "section".

At the other extreme to Luc's little grandiflora, here is wolongensis SDR2. Now over a metre high and almost a metre across. Looks great and does really well but sadly has virtually no scent, though it does vary from season to season.

I really would love to grow more of the tiny ones like the petraea clones but they seem almost unobtainable commercially here, except perhaps from one UK nursery who is a very long way from lancashire.

Not true, generally, though different species have different needs. It doesn't help when a bird flicks the tiny plant from its new home in a trough and I don't realize this, for several days.

Thanks Lesley. The blackbirds are always pulling things out of my garden, hope the don't start on the troughs.
