Scent in Winter

<< < (2/2)

Piglet:
It's all these 'individual seasonal' plants that give us something to look forward to.  At this time of year there isnt alot else around exciting our senses etc... but for plants like the Daphnes.  I have dogwoods in my garden and through the summer not much exciting but in winter a glorious splash of colour.  

Wish it was smelly-vision P  :)!

Eric

Thank you so much for the enlightenment regarding Daphnes; I've always thought about getting one and now thanks to a decrease in lawn and enlargement of flower bed there is a spot with "reserved" marked on it.
Once again thanks for your knowledgable posting and inspirational pictures.

flowerbaby_uk:
I would second that compliment to Eric Ragged Robin he is kind and sharing and very knowledgable too :)

Dandy_Lion:
Very spooky, Eric, very spooky indeed. I bought a Daphne odora 'aureomarginata' yesterday (Friday). Hows about that for coincidence!!  I love the look and scent of them, so long may it live!!
Take care
Sally    ;D

Garden Manager:
Okay I take it back eric- Sorry old chap! ;)

Have to agree with you on some other plants. Nice though they are roses look awfull in winter. Springs ok the new growth looks quite good depending on the cultivar.

As I said before a plant needs to earn its keep in my garden.

Perhaps the real problem with daphnes is although scented, my sense of smellis such that I wouls have a hard job enjoying it!  I oftenhave to et in so close and smell so hard to pick up the scent of such plants, I invariably get a nose full of pollen. Which then makes me sneeze!  ::)
