Photo of Daphne anyone?

Here's one of Pseudo's 'mutant-foliage' forms trying to steal thunder...
This is daphne odora Mae-jima.
Just a youngster I'm keeping in a pot.

The 2nd pic is a very different daphne, d. genkwa.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have any fragrance, which seems so weird to me,
in view of the intense scent of it's brethren.
A nice early spring blast of lavender color.
Mine got huge over 10yrs or so (maybe 8ft wide, 4ft tall),
but sprawled rather awkwardly in it's old age and eventually puttered out.
I meant to replace it, but haven't gotten around to it yet...
