However, the combination of colour is stunning right now as other shrubs like Rhododendrons macabeanum and Camellia reticulatas all compete for brilliance in the flower world. The sweet fragrant scent of Daphne bohlua “Jacqueline Postill” and Daphne odora ‘Aureo-marginata’ lingers in the air of the woodland pathways as the last of the snowdrops give way to the vibrant yellow daffodils.

how have all your cordylines faired during this winter, i have lost all my beautiful specimin palms , even though they were fleeced.
