I only have four Daphnes - Daphne mezereum  white form, a rather scruffy Daphne cneorum, Daphne blagayana and Daphne retusa over a meter across and magnificent just now.

Giles,

Have you notified the source of the Daphne seed?  Mistakes can easily happen, but it is the response to that mistake that is usually the proof of their business (or not, as the case may be).

The last time I sent them an enquiry, they responded in German (which was 'problematic' ).

Not a good photo, but here is James Cobb's HUGE Daphne petraea grandiflora from the Perth SRGC Show:

 126829-0

It was gorgeous, about 45 cms or more across ....sadly had a few "empty" bits with no flowers.... it's tough at the top!

Actually its not as noticeable as the venerable Daphne 'Somerset' nearby, you have to get down on your knees to appreciate 'Cheriton'
