My love for Narcissi is obvious to readers of my blog! Right now, no fewer than a dozen varieties bloom in my gardens. Here, then, are two bouquets featuring each of those lovely flowers:
In no particular order, I’ve included Narcissi Double Fashion, Ceylon, Sorbet, Stratosphere, Pueblo, Kedron, Yazz, Jetfire, Henriquesii, Beautiful Eyes, Quail, and one of the last King Alfred types. If you click on any of the highlighted names, you will find more information about it!
The filler in the vases and the pretty green bow are what remains of my anniversary rose bouquet from mid-April, and the greenery is Palm Sunday palm leaves. Double duty makes me happy!
The small vase includes the tiniest daffodils:
The flowers of ‘Henriquesii’ are barely an inch wide!
Narcissus ‘Double Fashion’ has a strong, sweet fragrance that is much more pleasant than the typical sharp scent of many daffs:
‘Kedron’ and ‘Yazz’ complement one another well. I love the peachy-pink outline on ‘Yazz’s’ corona. So much detail there that’s hard to appreciate from afar!
Here are ‘Beautiful Eyes’ (white petals) and ‘Ceylon’, both with orange cups:
Sweet creamy-white ‘Pueblo’:
And lastly, one of my favorites, ‘Sorbet’:
Cathy at Rambling in the Garden hosts a weekly blog party inviting readers to share their own vases of flowers each Monday. It’s well worth a few moments to enjoy what other bloggers are enjoying in vases on Mondays!
They are wonderful! I am aslo very impressed that you know all the names! 😉
Thanks, Cathy! I actually keep pretty good records of these things! The notebook isn’t pretty because I carry it outside with me when I’m planting bulbs, but it’s effective!
Oh look at all of those – here in my garden they are virtually all finished for this year. Those teeny tiny ones are especially sweet and the frilly ruff on Double Fashion is a lovely feature. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Cathy. I think I have at least another week or even two of different daffodils left!
A beautiful collection. And I am so impressed that you remember the names. The best I can do is “yellow”, “white with scent”, etc.
Hi Alana! I actually keep a notebook of what bulbs I’ve planted when and where, and the blog itself is a pretty good record, too! I’ve been noticing the scents seem more prominent this year than I remember in other years–not sure why it’s any different. My daughter noticed it too.
Wow, wow, wow! I’ve always loved Daffodils, too. Tulips don’t work here because of the excessive rabbit population and the shade. So, I’ve always had a few Daffodils here and there. Last fall, I planted 200 Daffodil bulbs–a mix from Colorblends. They are the best Daffodils I’ve ever had–in so many shapes and forms, and some of them are scented, too. Your bouquets and your photography are simply stunning!
Thanks, Beth. It must have taken some effort to plant 200 daff bulbs! I love to have so many varieties of daffodils! I have different ones blooming from early April through to nearly the end of May, if the weather doesn’t get too hot too fast. I love tulips, too, and wish I could grow them outside the confines of the fence! Even the fence isn’t foolproof, though — a couple years ago voles burrowed in and devoured the bulbs!
