-will do, Mike.
The Maestro in his book says cuttings likely to work at any time, but July probably best.
I'll take some now, and some in July, and email you if/when rooted.The growth is very soft at the moment, and I'm reluctant to send 'prunings' to
you now, as I don't think they'll survive in the post.

Giles,

Here, it's always supposed to be Dec/Jan for cuttings, so that fits for you guys in July.  Love that D. x burkwoodii 'Golden Treasure', as I love variegated plants, but I have to agree with Lesley that the pinkish flowers on that might clash a little.  I'd still grow it though, for that wonderful gold foliage! 8)

Rudi,

Great pics.  I'm particularly intrigued by albowiana as I received seed of it recently and now know what it will look like.  Very unusual (which to me is a good thing!  ;D).  Love the other pics too.

Thanks all.

Paul,
Daphne albowiana is a woodland plant from the subalpine zone 1600-2000 m
in the Caucasus, I hope, that it grows well in your climate.
Attached are the last Daphne pictures for this season.
I am not quite sure, if the D. burkwoodii is true to name, but the plant is
extremely floriferous with a smashing fragrance. Maybe someone can help me.

D. x burkwoodii 1
 D. x burkwoodii 2
 D. x neapolitana 'Bramdean'
 D. x susannae ' Cheriton'
 D. x susannae 'Tage Lundell' 1
 D. x susannae 'Tage Lundell' 2
 D. x thauma

Where does the name 'Persebee' come from please, on the petraea? I ask because it is the only one currently available in NZ and happily, I have two very nice plants, both packed with buds waiting for the spring. :) :) :)

Giles,

the unknown Daphne is from R. Potterton (year 2000 or earlier?)

Thankyou, Hans.
Is it the source of the 'unknown Daphne' in this years' AGS seed exchange?
(as it is germinating!)

Well that makes mine even more precious as Peter visits NZ from time to time so probably was able to give material to Merv Holland who propagated mine. I know Peter a little bit.

Rudi, do you grow this Daphne calcicola outside (nice speciman, btw)? If so, what was the minimum temperature it withstood this past winter? My friend tried to grow 'Gang Ho Ba' clone, but it perrished after taking about -23C with little protection.

Nice thread to say hi to all the Daphne lovers.
