RE: Eranthus "Guinea Gold"

Frank,
	Your Eranthis is lovely.  Worth waiting for, yes?
 I can almost smell your Daphne from here.  My 10+ year old plant began
dying last summer after it bloomed and is still alive, but barely.  It
dropped all its leaves and hasn't a flower this spring.  :( I am told by our
extension agent that they are very prone to phytopthera (misspelled, I'm
sure) root rot.  It had been very lush and floriferous prior to last year.
I have no choice but to pull it out and start over in another spot.
Fortunately, I have 2 nice small plants from cuttings (done 2 years ago) in
the nursery that I can use for myself.  You might want to take a few
cuttings of yours right after it blooms - just for insurance.

My Eranthus Guinea Gold was in full glorious bloom Thursday.  My Daphne
odora was beautiful and fragrant too.
