Saw a lovely Philadelphus (I think) the other night at Field End
Nurseries. Called madrensis and smelled vaguely of bubble gum but much
better, much smaller than normal Philadelphus and so pretty whilst in
flower. Trouble was it had just been given to him so he was hanging on
to it and any cutting material for the moment!

Is this it? V. lovely, if so.

oh yes it might very well be, must remember maculatas not madrensis., he
seemed certain on the name but then I don't know who gave it to him.
I got the tiniest little bit of one of the shoots (about 2 inches worth)
as someone knocked it (not me!) However whether it will take is another
matter!. V. pretty and apparently really hardy.
If I ever get one watch this space for cuttings !
