I've spent ages going throught he books that I have and haven't seen anything like it - No wonder the garden centre just sell them off. The tall dead stalks beside it are an indication of how high it will get. I had left them there when I planted it to remind me something was there, so it still has a bit of growing to do.

The pic I posted has served to remind me I need to catch up with the weeding

[quote=calismum;550371]It is defininately a yellow DM, but I love that variety you've found. May look out for it this autumn.

This has decided me - tomorrow I'm going to photo all the daffs still in flower and try to identify them! We have loads of varieties and colours so should be good fun.[/quote]

Indeed it will be! I enjoy things like this (yes, get a life, Eileen!)

I suspect it might be an euonymus too ......

I've had back copies of The Garden out, gardening books, been Googling, got a glass of wine and had a great time!!! Hope we are all included in Name that Daff, CM???

Glad you're enjoying this.

If it is dry tomorrow I'll take pics of the ones that are still in bloom and do a guess the daff variety post. (quite excited about this now, how sad is that!)

I have three pots still to flower. OH's cousin brought them back from Jersey for me and I forgot about them

They are supposed to be very fragrant.

That's what I love about Catsey...we not only share a love of cats but so many other things like this...the hens, identifying plants, songs, ...so nice to know people who enjoy the same things!

I saw a clip from daffodil grower on Gardeners' World a couple of weeks ago. He said that with all the modern varieties of daffs/narcissi you can actually have flowers for 5 months of the year!

A couple of close ups of mystery shrub.

I've spent a good while today and no possibles yet.

Now off to do the 'guess the daffodil' thread

Think I may have discovered what the shrubby plant is -

What do you think?

That looks very much the one CM...

I think you've nailed it, CM! It certainly looks like your mystery plant....one I'd never heard of. Well done for persevering!
