That's a good selection for the first week of the year.

 Both are flowering now. They are very same but I am suspicious whether same or not. Can anyone  clarify?

  Yes, very similar - but I think not the same . There are quite a few of  double narcissus of that type.

Do you  perhaps notice any difference in the scent?

[ikizzeki]

So many thanks Maggie..Both have same  sweetly scented. The first is almost more than 50 cm height, more floriferous. According to Daffseek 'Double Roman' is dwarf in height.So second very close to Double Roman, but what is the first. In the shape first is very close to Double Roman but it is so height,  found over 65 cm last year..

[Maggi Young]

Ther  problem lies in the fact that in cultivation plants can reach very different heights in different situations - even in many Daffseek descriptions the size given can range to double the size!

A Daffseek  search for plants in the  4 W-O  or 4 W-Y -( because there can be decision to be made about exact colour) will show many plants which are quite similar.

Ah! Cheers Maggi, I've edited it.

[Maggi Young]

  Thanks, David.
It's a really good plant, isn't it?

[David Nicholson]

Yes, a good strong 'un, heads stand up well.

Happy New Year! This is my first post in 2015

This flower is in the same pot of my previous post on last Christmas Eve because I thought these bulbs are a same clone. Now I think there are at least 2 similar clones in the pot. Their corona shape looks different for me. Anyway, I like this flower better than the previous one I posted
