Sweet



A friend called round yesterday and brought me some sprigs of Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postill’ from her garden.

How I wish I had this lovely shrub. The smell is heavenly.

They're beautiful. I love the varying shades of pink.

It's so pretty and really the best Daphne.

My daphne doesn't look as if it will flower for ages. I suppose you are warmer in sunny Devon.

It's Dorset but yes, I think it can be warmer than Hampshire. My friend's garden is in Poole, so probably ahead of us here. Everything is late and the daffodils will have short stems.
