"Just received order of Dahne ‘Jacqueline Postill’ today in superb condition – not a leaf out of place! This is very important for me and my fellow employees, as it is a present for our boss. H has been looking for this plant locally with no success. It will be planted with a collection of other Daphne's and will be seen by over 2,000 visitors a year. So many thanks again and we will be studying your catalogue for future purchases."
