Matt, I've been out of town, so I just got caught up on my garden visits…thanks for the mention, I'm hoping I'll get a second flush on my Sinningia too!Just picked up my mail…Plant Society was burning my fingers as I walked in the door-how cool, all I need is a glass of vino and my evening is set!

Thanks Compost. SC sounds great, I can only imagine what a bed of Sinningia tubiflora would look like. Here, it spreads fast in a pot, I would imagine that in a milder climate, it grows much more robust.

Teza, you should have no problem growing these Daphne in Ontario, that's where I got them from. I too am Z 5 / 5b. Just be caution of site, look for good drainage, and a snowcover, would be preferred.

Love Sinningia tubiflora. We grew it in large swaths at Brookgreen Gardens in Pawleys Island, SC. When in flower the walkways smelled of Fruit Loops. All it lacked was the rainbow of colors!

Matt:
I am so enjoying my visits here…. another certifiable plant addict!
I love the perennial Cyclamen and have C. hederifolium blooming in the garden this week. I wish that I could over-winter Daphne, but my Z5 winters seem too harsh! Thanks for giving me a place to visit more as the garden begins its downward spiral.
