Still dizzy over daphnes

I've shown my daphne ridge more than once, and babbled on before about how much I like daphnes...but here you can see a long time after they were planted they're still chugging along. The link gives the names.

Daphne juliae

 I apparently haven't photographed my D. cneorum, that are busy devouring much of my garden this year--this can be a petite stand-in.

A monster daphne at Denver Botanic Gardens...

Daphne 'Tage Lundell'

 I first obtained this as a rooted cutting from Joel Spingarn in the 1970's. Joel got it from Tage--considered the greatest Swedish gardener of his time (mid 20th Century)  The original plant is on top (well over 40 years old) the one below is only 20 or so years old. They're both pretty big...our oldest and one of our best daphnes.

 This is one big daphne! At least 4' across!

Daphne x hendersonii

A much more petite species in the Rock alpine Garden.

Daphne x susanae 'Anton Fahndrich'

 Two more monsters on the Scree mound at DBG...

Daphne x 'Cheriton' ?

And yet another monster at DBG...

Daphneville today

If  were to photograph the daphnes today, they'd be all white! However, most of them are long since finished flowering.

But there are many white flowered sorts (oleioides, caucasica, alpina) coming into bloom still...
