Daffodils

How I wish my glorious magnolia tree would stay in bloom for longer.

The scent is so lovely - it smells of fresh air, and hope.

These grow in the middle of the lawn. Going to paint them so can record the memory.

I’m interested in plant species, so I’ve been doing some digging to find out the answer to your question giulia, and it appears that tete a tete narcissi are not jonquils. Apparently Jonquils are in Class 7 and 13 and have numerous yellow scented blooms with rounded foliage. It is a small group of Narcissus and confined to just the one group.
Tete a tete are in the miscellaneous category, so not jonquils. Here a picture of narcissi jonquila. I stand corrected if anybody knows better!

Thank you so much for this information. Then mine are tete a tete daffs, not jonquils.

Caleo are your yellow with orange centre daffs the variety called Jetfire?

Beautiful photo’s on this thread Grans.

This is a lovely thread, especially so for those of us without a garden. Thank you all.

I had a beautiful spread of daffs in my garden that had been doubling up for years. Some little toe rags picked them this morning. Every one.

Tilly Trotter , sorry, I dont rememeber the name of the orange centred variety. For some reason these seem to be long lasting.

I grew some lovely daffs last year but took them out of the pot as I needed it for something else.. They were multi headed with really strong orange centres and yellow backs. They were quite tall and smelled fantastic.

I have been trying to find them again on line and I can't remember or find the name. I think it was something beginning with T

Can anyone help?

Update - I have found it - it's Narcissi Jonquil Martinette

To me they mean Spring, the vibrant yellow on a dull day cheers me up. As well as those in the garden I buy a bunch each week during the season I have given up on the taller varieties as they always seem to fall over with the rain & wind here although there are still some in the garden. Now I buy the shorter varieties, planted mainly in pots which I bring onto the patio so I can see them easily. Esmee I will now look for Rip Van Winkle to add to my collection.

I love daffodils my favourite flower,I was lucky to be in the UK a few weeks ago to be able to appreciate them, as in this country we will not be seing them for at least another month, they have just arrived in shops so we will at least be able to buy some bunches.Its the beginning of spring at last.
