Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postil’ AGM

Lovely colour! This is my favourite Daphne! Brilliant!

This is one shrub I have never had, Barbara and keep meaning to get one, although here in this smaller garden would have to go in a pot and I expect the rest of the year, they are quite insignificant! The perfume is supposed to be lovely, isn't it ! This looks like its going to be a lovely colour too !

Had you had a wee drinky-poo, prior to taking the snap, Olive? ;-)

Lol! I think it's more of a low blood sugar thing Mouldy! mum, you need a wee drink! :))

lol I took the picture from the top of the plant, lol. You should not criticise the AGED & cold snappers Mouldy. I was very excited to see this flower bud. Maybe the hands were shaking on the mobile phone. I hadn't got the camera with me at the time. Maybe I should have gone indoors and got it but that meant taking off the muddy shoes and then putting them back on again. I am a lazy gardener. lol.

ps. Note: I said Snappers not what you were thinking. lol.

Just goes to show we should have patience if we want to be good gardeners...not something I have much of I'm ashamed to admit.

That's awesome Barbara!

I know Waddy, me neither. Think as I have got older I want things to happen more quickly than they do though. lol.

Thanks Michaella, by the way, one of the aconites has popped up, so nice to see it again. :O) Look forward to more shortly. Think this one must not have been planted as deep as the others. Lovely and bright and so welcome :O)

Lovely shrub Barbara ...

Mouldy - you are now in trouble with both Karen and her Mum ... quit before it gets worse!

Lol, he's gone quiet!

Now there's a rare occurrence!

He aint no quitter Shirley, lol. He will be having his afternoon nap and a pint and then he will be back I am sure. lol.

That's good to hear Barbara! :)))

Michaella, yes I was so pleased to see it. It wasn't opened up but at least it is still there and trying. lol :O) The snowdrops are up really well and some of the hellabores are in flower. Very cold and damp with just a little sunshine today. Quite a strong wind blowing too.

It was freezing here as well. Scott got the house sign up though, and it looks great. Rachel and I went to the craft shop, and when we came out it was snowing! No snow lying though...it turned to rain as we got near the coast.

One of my favourites.
In fact, I nearly bought one today but didn't because we always lose them and then it makes me sad.
Any tips to keep them happy?

Right, what did I miss?
Note: What was I thinking, Olive? ;-)

He is Back girls, lol :O) You keep going missing Mouldy, what have you been doing with yourself or were you not by yourself? lol. On second thoughts I do not really want to know!!!!:O)

Wildrose sorry, I have no idea on tips to look after them, but do know from reading on here and on line that they do not like moving and are not keen to be pruned as they die back quite easily. Think it is pure luck that this one has revitalised itself. :O)

Best not to ask what he's been up to!

Welcome back to the fold, Mouldy ... :o)

I know Shirley, as soon as I had typed it I knew I was asking for trouble. No doubt I shall get it too :O)

LOL Barbara!

You can torture me, but I won't tell.
Go on, I double dare you!
What, over your knee, Olive? Well, I'm game, if you are. ;-)
Actually, my mobile is playing up, so I'm using one of the library computers, but we're only allowed an hour on it.

Now that explains it, lol do they not check what you are writing on there computers? You need to be careful, they will be banning you from using them next Mouldy. lol. I can just see the librarian peering over her spectacles and reading the comments from off the security cameras. lol. If she nudges her assistant the next time you go into the library you will know why!!!:O)) Nudge nudge wink wink!

Oh, they know me only too well, Olive.
The library is co-joined with an adult learning centre and a health centre, so I'm posting, reading a book, lifting weights and washing my longjohns in the pool, as I type. ;-)

Oh that image is amazing lol :O)

How outrageous...they've banned me from the pool! ;-)

lol :O)))))

I couldn't very well wash them, while I had them on, but, no, that explanation wasn't good enough for them was it? ;-)

lol :O) what an image lol :O) I shall be laughing for ages now. lol :O)

It was so embarassing...the carbolic kept slipping out of my hand and I had to bend over to retrieve it.
Waves lapping at the shore, during a full moon, kept springing to mind. ;-)

I went off to bed laughing last night and am still laughing stop now Mouldy before we really get into a lot of trouble. lol.

Are you giving me the bum's rush, Olive? Lol.

lol I cannot take any more at my age Mouldy lol I am still giggling away. What are you like!!!

About five-eight, legs and arms at the appropriate corners and the head stuck on top.
I guess I'm like, er, hmmm, vaguely human? ;-)

BUT only vaguely, lol :O) you make me laugh anyway Mouldy and that is all good.

Just doin' ma job, Ma'am. Lol.
