Those look like they are sweetly scented, Heinie.
Why do you suppose I find it perfectly reasonable that daffodils are grown in Australia and New Zealand, but I find it strange that they are grown in South Africa?  ::) ??? Not a logical thing, is it? :-X

Maggie, they are sweetly scented. I cannot resist smelling them many times a day. I received six bulbs from a friend in the UK during December 2007 when they started growing and flowered poorly due to change of hemisphere I assume. They are beautiful now. Daffodils normally do well in South Africa.

I adore scented flowers of all kinds but scented narcissi are a real treat.. really picks up the spirits.... I quite understand how you keep going to sniff them again and again... irresistible!
 It has not taken long for them to settle to the season change down there, has it?
