 Of Narcissus papyraceus ?   The scent is wonderful! Very heavy and too much for some and even I don't care to be trapped in too warm a room with it, but in moderation it is scrumptious..... rich and heady!

I was referring to Rafa's colorful question about scent:

Thanks a lot! - it smells fine but very, very intense, so it is better to keep a distance.

Narcissus cantabricus 'Silver Palate'

There are two diferent smell in N. papyraceus. There is one that smell very strong and we use to call it "meados de zorra", "meados de cabra" there are many names... "meados" means pee.
Although colour or smell are not very important in taxonomy, is important if we think in the pollinators. N. papyraceus and N. polyanthos smell bad, and N. panizzianus smell good but they are the same species for many people...

Doesn't scent come into the species botanical equation?

The only colour in my greenhouse just now.
Grown from seed over 20 years ago as Narcissus bulbocodium hybrid, it flowers regularly, increases well and sets seed.  It is a bit later and shorter this year as I did not manage to water my bulbs early enough.

Great to have some colour despite the weather conditions isn't it Roma !!

Here, Narcissus "Camoro" is flowering while it's -7°C outside !
