Daphne cneorum

wow! sensational!!

Thanks - I was really hoping that this would survive, and it has!

Beautiful , I expect the fragrance is heavenly too...

I can't bend down that far...I'll have to kneel down and sniff! lol.

Very pretty

Thanks...I bought it when I met Flori at the GC halfway beteen our homes! I'm sure she'll remember it. :-))

Lovely indeed...

One I couldn't resist. One of the criteria I use if I spot a new plants to ask myself if I'll regret NOT buying it once I get home. This one was a 'must have'!

We have just bought a little beauty, which we have growing in a small pot at the moment, but oh the perfume!!

Is it the same one, Dd?

No it is Daphne transatlantica Eternal Fragrance and it flowers from April to October, has lovely pale pink flowers...

Sounds wonderful! Don't tempt me - the spaces I have are all booked! ;-z

Lovely Spritz . . . I wonder why I've never bought a Daphne?! Wonderful fragrance.

Some of them can be tricky customers - they up and die on you...for no apparent reason, too! :-((

Oh dear :((

There's a nursery not far from here which specialises in Daphnes and Betula amongst other shrubs, and they add a warning in the catalogue about Daphnes being a bit particular. Pity, if you pay out for a lovely shrub and it decides it doesn't like your garden! :-((

I've always been afraid to try Daphne cneorum because I know they can be finicky and there are so many small reliable hybrids but they sure are pretty when they're flowering!

This one seems 'easier' than some other Daphnes, or maybe I was lucky to plant it in the 'right' spot.
