Thank you, Rudi.  It is probably the case that some handwriting was mistaken.

I did ask Stuart Pawley if he could identify the donor to see if we could find more that way but he  told me today he is busy at the moment.

Question Guys,

I'm starting to pull together a list of "wants" (or should that be needs  ;D) and one of the plants I fancy is Daphne petraea graniflorus ( sorry if I spelt it wrong) any idea where I can track one down?

Thanks Paul but I cant take any credit. It was planted and left to look after itself. If you want some seeds just ask

Mark, lucky boy,
What a beautiful big-flowered form, has it a special cultivar name?

Rudi if you seeds I can look for some under the plant. I saw seedling today

This year I must give it a small trim because all flowers are at the stem tips. I need new growth at the botton also

Mark, be careful!
In my experience D mezereum don't like trimming and don't regrow from the base very well.

If you try to nibble you have to spit out quickly! Still you will get a burning astringency in your mouth and feel suffocating. I friend of mine once tried ;D - he survived.
I think however the shrub tolerates it better than you  ;)

Too valuable for nibbling - Daphne blagayana "Brenda Anderson", now in full flower.
