Two plants from my greenhouse(s).
Dionysia 'Judith Bramley' is a Michael Kammerlander “creation”. A hybrid between D. afghanica and probably D. tapetodes.
Daphne bholua should be hardy here in Belgium, at least according to a couple of people.
But for me it is every time a battle again to get it through winter.
This is a white form with a cast of pale pink (from Dirk Jockel).

I agree with you Josef, it's often a problem to get D. afghanica and its hybrids undamaged through our winter. Often the start of the winter is rather mild and the plants are getting too early in bud. Later on winter starts getting colder with (severe) frost and during those cold periods plants are getting damaged.

Dear all, unusually mild here with lots more rain I hope we do not have a repeat of last spring when we went back to winter in April. I have noticed Adonis amurensis well into growth and Meconopsis beamishii with interesting foliage, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Ger, I have this problem not only with afghanica but with many Dionysias.
Maybe we have to sleep the nights in our alpine house, like those experts in the south of England.
Thanks Cliff !

You are ahead of us Jozef, our Daphne bholua and Dionysia Judith Bramley are still both in tight bud but have definitely started to grow in the mild weather the last few weeks.
Judith Bramley is one of the 4 tiny Dionysias I have persevered with and I hope it one day looks as good as yours.
I don't know why I still try: Dionysia + mild damp Lancashire winter = corpse.

Here's a blood orange bloom indoors I believe it's Moro.
Scent is amazing

Arnold - that is my favourite scent in the whole world - I am extremely envious. I can just look at that beautiful blossom and imagine the fragrance...... well, I could.....until Ian appeared in the room with a plate of piping hot Onion Bhajiis

Do Blood orange flowers smell any different than "regular" orange blooms?
