I don't think they have ever managed to get the scent of Boronia into perfume form. I always look up the components of my perfumes and have never found Boronia or Daphne. Anything with Gardenia is instant headache.<br /><br />River, sandy soil is apparently the secret and they flourish in W.A. You must try to snip a bit of that daphne, they do grow from cuttings.<br /><br />Bloody show off, Andrew. I bet your grandmother's plant was a yellow one. I have to make do with the scent of the orange blossom, no wonder the old time brides wore it in their hair, it's lovely. How was it in the Highrise Sunday night? I thought of you as my windows at ground level crashed and banged.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-36286716999453253362016-11-01T10:37:11.288+11:002016-11-01T10:37:11.288+11:00We had all three in one garden, but the boronia di...We had all three in one garden, but the boronia did not last long.

Too long ago.<br />I've seen quite a few gardenias here in Adelaide.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-31968454087247414862016-10-31T17:05:31.440+11:002016-10-31T17:05:31.440+11:00I wish I could grow boronia, daphne or gardenias. ...I wish I could grow boronia, daphne or gardenias. I have a brown thumb for them all.<br />And how I remember the plant thievery. My mother was so professional about it she had secateurs in her handbag.
