Sounds like something there has taken a liking to it. Very odd for anything insect-wise go be eating plants outdoors at this time of year 🤔 @karolk

Interesting, as I have another another plant with similar leaves nearby this Daphne, which has had something eat loads of little holes in the leaves. It happened around last spring, but I never figured out what did it! @karolk

Thanks Kerry. Yes, the scent is exquisite. I'll take another photo when most of the flowers have opened. I'm sure yours is just perfect too though 😊
