Dave, no need to apologize for OT postings; we all do it! Your plants are amazingly beautiful. I've never smelled a Daphne before; wonder if they grow here. I have the same problem with some photos and photobucket -- don't know what the problem is.

Ahhh very pretty!!! And how is that special flower of yours?

Mary

Love all your flowers Dave, that is a lovely epi!

Mary, Katie is just fine. She sleeps thru night mabye 4 out of 7 nights.

Eloise, Daphne odora is one of the most fragrant plants you can grow! I would think it might do well in CA, but not sure.

Thanks Dave, I'll look into Daphne odora at the nursery close to my home today when I go to a class on growing fruits. BTW, please post more pictures of Katie Rose here -- definitely would fit the subject line. We would love to see her grow in front of our eyes (computer) :-)

Very pretty Dave! Yes where is the baby too..:)))

Dave I would have to be banned if you are not allowed to post as many OT's as we want to, with the POTD lol

I just love your pictures and oh how special it is to see a little earth angel grow and be part of it. PLEASE do not stop. EVER

The 3 camellia's I have almost died. Just because I somehow mixed the placement instructions up and placed them in FULL TEXAS SUN :-( Of course now they are all in a lot more shade and the one that had no unburned leaves left and I had taken them all off, grew a very nice bunch already.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! good citizens of the Brug Forum. I would like to announce that am now 2 1/2 months old!

The last pic is definitely the prettiest but the flowers are nice too. She's really growing up. Your camellias are just gorgeous. I really wanted to get daphne but don't have anywhere to plant it. It's supposedly deer proof. My purple gem definitely wasn't deer proof.

What a little sweetie Dave!
She is just precious!

CONGRADULATIONS!!! ON ALL Brandy

Okay, those camellias just about break my heart with their beauty, but not nearly as much so as your little daughter! She's precious!

That's funny Dave, and Katie Rose is doing the right hand gesture for your saying, LOL! Precious, and what a cute outfit on her.

She is adorable :) Barb

Dave see how time flies. She already knows how to anounce great things to us lol

That lil darlin always has a happy face!!

Thanks Dave

Lucy

Lucy,

That lil darlin always has a happy face!!

Yeah. Right! LOL!

Dave, All of your pics are awesome, but I especially love the pic of your newest MC. LOL She is beautiful.

Linda

Wow, great pics. She has grown so much and always seems to be gesturing in the pics. She's gonna be a hand talker, lol. Do you have italian in your family? She is a sweetie pie. I love the flowers too. I have asked several nurseries about the daphne odora and nobody here has heard of it. I guess another internet search is in order, lol.

What a beautiful girl.

Just beautiful!

Kristy, your post is too funny! When I went to the nursery, I forgot to look for daphne odora. I have to start making a list, and hope I don't forget the list at home, LOL!

Here's a fact sheet about Daphne. It needs really good drainage and perhaps an Eastern exposure (afternoon shade) in really warm zones. Mine is facing West, but we have hazy summers. Plants can be a bit pricey, maybe because they are difficult to propagate? But the fragrance is like intense Lily of the Valley.
