Daphne odora x bholua 'Perfume Princess'

Little ball of exquisite perfume.

Wonderful

Gorgeous 😍

Foliage very pale and pot needs moving but surgery tomorrow on my back so it’ll have to wait. Perfume is still beautiful though.

@cyndi @Jasonsparkes1 Thank you both, me too. I’ll hopefully be equal on both sides and have more mobility. Crutches for 6-8wks then physio. My Mum is bringing me home so I’ll see if she can move it with my Son. ☺️🙏🏼

Hope it goes well - good time to have op as not too much to do in the garden!

Yes, hope it goes well Christine and wishing you a speedy recovery 😊

@linfoster @sharonhayden @richard.spicer.7906 Thank you 🙏🏼 all, fingers crossed 🤞🏼 all goes ok. I’ve had the right side done so I know what to expect. 6-8 weeks on crutches and on one leg. Such fun. 😆 But yes the best time of year to have it done. Hopefully I might get out in the garden at some point, if I’m good. 😁

😯 sounds serious

@sharonhayden It’s my Si joints. When I was pregnant with my 2 children everything softened up for birth but my joints didn’t go back properly. I’ve got arthritis in my spine and 2 bulges as well. It’s been a nightmare.

Oh dear - hope it all gets sorted and the cats look after you 🙏

Good luck for your surgery and a swift recovery. 😊

Good luck with the op Christine hope you have a speedy recovery

Thank you 🙏🏼 all very much, recovery going ok. It’s painful but there’s no pain, no gain. Hopping around on my crutches. 🌺

The perfume is exquisite.

It looks like a healthy plant to me 💚💕👍

That's pretty pity we can't smell it 😊

Beautiful, I love perfumed flowers and shrubs, there's nothing better than walking into a garden or a flower shop 😍

Glad you are better now Christine, sorry I haven't been in touch ❤️

@clustyroen it’s ok Hun thank you 🙏🏼 for thinking of me now though. I’m still not great with my back and now my knee is going but my mood is so much brighter and after not going in the garden last year I’m actually wanting to now. I’m making the most of it. Doing little bits here and there. I’ve just potted up about 100 plug plants so the garden will be full of colour this year. 😁👍🏼🙏🏼😘💋💞

Glad you are feeling better, don't overdo it ❤️ @pixierose

@clustyroen Thank you Hun I’ll try and pace myself. It’s difficult though as I get going and lose track of time. Now chilling and watching a film 🎥 so I can relax. Have a good weekend?! 😘💋🙏🏼💞

A real close up of a Daphne blossom I think they look like the texture of prawn crackers close up lolz The perfume is definitely NOT fishy but very beautiful. 😊🙏🏼

It does 🤣🤣🤣

I have perfume princess.....isn’t it gorgeous ☺️💕💕💕

@harebell yes it’s stunning. I have a problem with the leaves dropping off though. New ones are regrowing but I don’t know if they need to be in special compost or conditions. 🤔

I can’t say I’ve noticed a vast leaf fall,but some have gone a little brown around the edges,🤔 I don’t think they like a lot of water or too much sun though,I’ve planted mine in just normal garden soil in semi-shade and it seems to have taken well producing plenty of flowers 🌸🌸🌸

Prawn crackers 🤣👏🏾
