With little knowledge, I'm slowly turning an acre field into a garden! This is my first gardening attempt, so there's such a lot to learn! 🐝🦋🌻

Thanks @wilko - could be! Any idea why it has spots on the leaves?

It's a really small flower compared to my other wigelias (similar to that of the escalonia) and the leaf is quite waxy? ?

@SylviaDavies don't know why there's spots on the leaves, sorry I can't be of more help

@SylviaDavies thinking now this could be daphne, after you saying about waxy leaves, googled it and it looks similar. Is it highly scented? Have a google see what you think.

@wilko thanks! Had a look and yes it certainly is more like the flower. Not sure if I have been feeding it erichacious supplements or not as I want sure what it was. Not sure if the smell as there us only one bunch of flowers so far and my allergies are stopping ne from sampling properly 😢 😢. Thanks for the suggestion! 😃
