You don't have to post the images here. All you need to do is to go to the iPhoto page with the pictures, copy the URL by highlighting it and paste it into your next message here.In case you don't know how that works, place the cursor into the URL (address) line. If that does not highlight the line, click "Ctrl A" for all. Then click "Ctrl C" for copy. Then place the cursor into the message box here and click "Ctrl V" for view. Then we will be able to click on the URL and see your daffies.

<img src="/files/topics/902/files/narcissus100x172.jpg" width=100 height=172 alt="Fragrant Narcissus" align=right>It must be wonderful to find a fragrant daffodil. Thanks for posting the photo at Farmer's Almanac.Very few daffodils are hardy where I live, and none of them are fragrant. I do, however, remember the very fragrant white narcissus from my childhood. They looked like the ones in this photo, except that most of them had white cups with just a little orange fringe.

I've posted a photo of telamonius plenus athttp://www.suite101.com/files/topics/508...
Sometimes it comes with a normal perianth (the outer petals) and only a double cup.
But it's not really a green daffodil. The green coloring is caused by weather conditions. It happens to many double daffodils. There is only one green daffodil that I know of, N. viridiflorus, and it blooms in the autumn. It's a very small flower and has a musty fragrance.

You're probably remembering Narcissus poeticus, which blooms very late in the season. Where do you live, Traute, that very few daffodils are hardy? Many daffodils are native to mountain areas which are cold in winter. I've been to Spain and Portugal where they're native, and often find them under ski lifts. The road for skiers makes it easier to get to the daffodils. Or do you live where it's too warm for them?-- posted by Mary Lou
