Pat said...: Scarlet: actually I've been gardening and out of the sun is quite nippy,whereas yesterday was warmish.; 12:30 PM

Pat said...: Judy: One of the reasons we settled here - the mild climate.

Baglady: it's a type of magnolia -stellata - and has a slight fragrance.

John.G: sorry;(

Parsnip: I'd still like one of your fruit trees.

Kim: well you also live in a lovely spot and have mountains to boot.; 8:48 PM
Mary Witzl said...: I'm envious too. I planted what I was assured was a flowering daphne several years ago: not a single bud on it. All around me, I see flowering daphnes in people's gardens and they smell lovely.

Our daffodils are coming up, though, along with the grape hycinths and tulips. I go outside everyday, hoping to see open blossoms!; 11:01 PM
Kim Ayres said...: You should come up and visit here when Spring arrives, Pat - usually around mid-May - it is truly beautiful. I'm sure Me, Mary and Eryl would make you feel very welcome :); 11:17 PM
Kim Ayres said...: That should read, "Mary, Eryl and I"; 11:18 PM
Anonymous said...: It looks so beautiful and around here it was sunny but snow in the forecast.

Oy.

BTW, you make an appearance at my place tomorrow.

Cheers.; 2:18 AM

Pat said...: Mary: I love Daphne and used to have one in my old house by the front door for visitors to smell. I think it was myzerium?. I failed to repeat the experience here, sadly.
Grape hyacinths are indefatigable:)

Kim: that would be loverly. What a trio. Are you all close - in distance I mean?
Sadly it is too far for me to leave MTL and it is too far for him to travel. I sound like the Queen Mother when it was suggested she flee to the States in WW2:)

Randall: how exciting - I'll be around;)

Savannah: hope is high on the menu just now.xoxoxo; 9:19 AM
Kim Ayres said...: Mary and Eryl both live in Moffat, which is less than an hour's drive from my house.

I do understand about the travelling though; 1:10 PM
