Can anyone help identify this plant, recently bought in Richmond, BC? The vendor could not identify it. Intense fragrance, seems like it could be a daphne, but the flowers are large, more than an inch long. Wondered about azaleas too, but the leaves don't seem to match.
Thank you very much for that. With your advice I then searched on the web, found some photos of Snowbird, and hit upon one that I think looks even more like it, at http://www.glendoick.com/content.php?page=newplants They say about it, "AZALEA FRAGRANT STAR Tetraploid ‘Snowbird’ Small very scented white flowers. Better habit than ‘Snowbird’. Slow-growing. This is probably the most strongly scented azalea of all: amazing. "
Interesting, thank you, not familiar with that tetraploid one, should be hardy enough outside. The regular 'Snowbird' does get a little open growing, about 2.5' H x 3' W { .75m. H x 1m. W} in 10 years. Suckers a little which is good and the bluish green leaf is typical.
