Devon,
United Kingdom 
I absolutely adore the two Daphnes I have in my garden. I would love to have one flowering later in the year and wonder if there is a later flowering one. I currently have D bohlua and D tangutica. The bohlua is over 10 years old and I've read that they can suddenly expire for no apparent reason. Is that the case?
Another question is does anyone have D odora marianni? If so, how has it done for you? Thankyou

I have Adora but it was new last year and has not bloomed yet soon I hope.
I have 3 different Daphanes I adore them.
RKwright is the man who knows all about Daphne's not seen him online for some time.
You could try pm him or search is goy page.

They seem to have a life of about 12 to 15 years and then just give up suddenly. If you can get seed then they are easy to propagate, or try cuttings. D. retusa is a nice on flowering in May.

One in my garden is 24yrs old and in bud now.

Thanks everyone. I'll look up 'retusa' as you suggest Bulba. Good to know that life expectancy can be variable. Not sure about pm ing ms/mr wright. But thanks for the networking.

Daphne 'Eternal Fragrance' flowers over a long period, but mine pegged it after about seven or eight years.

I need to correct my question - the Daphne I have h ad is not Bholua. It is an Odora and is fabulously scented at the moment.
