She's called Chrissie May and her sisters were called Vera, Rose (though we called her aunty Betty so she wasn't mixed up with my gran, who was also called Rose), Violet and Lily. The exception was the baby of the family, my aunty Janet!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288445507197749783.post-4936740219582524762008-01-05T14:55:00.000+00:002008-01-05T14:55:00.000+00:00Hi Louise, thanks for your reply.

I love flower names for people and work in a school where one family has 8 daughters (not all in school together, although there are triplets!), all with lovely flower names.

It is such a hopeful sign that spring will be arriving in a few months. <BR/><BR/>I don't know Sarcacocca - will have to look it up. <BR/><BR/>Happy New Year to you Louise!!

I love Daphne too, I haven't got one but my neighbour has, and it smells gorgeous wafting near to my front door. How lovely for Daphne to remind you of your late mother, my late mother was named Veronica, so of course this reminds me of her. xthis is my patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865567572989902864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288445507197749783.post-20795384822748296892008-01-01T17:56:00.000+00:002008-01-01T17:56:00.000+00:00Hi Louise,Don't forget Viburnum bodnatense 'Dawn' ...Hi Louise,<BR/><BR/>Don't forget Viburnum bodnatense 'Dawn' as well. A candy pink flower that scents the whole garden. There's also a winter flowering, scented honeysuckle too - but my photos weren't good enough to post.<BR/><BR/>I've got a Sarcococca 'twig' (a freebie when I ordered some bulbs form Parkers) languishing in the coldframe at the moment, waiting for me to rescue it and pot it up.

My late mother was called Daphne and she had a beautiful Daphne bush in her garden in Brighton which smelled divine. For ages I've been meaning to buy one for my garden and this winter I finally got round to it, so am looking forward to it flourishing, hopefully. Love this blog and your home is where the heart is one. Thanks for sharing all your interesting facts with us. Jackie MxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
