I grow it, too and agree the fragrance isn't much. I love daffs!

Last spring, I was amazed to find fragrance (and nice, too) from the tiny Baby Moon daffs. I've grown them for years but never noticed any fragrance. However, it was quite pronounced. I'm guessing that I just...finally...have enough of them for me to notice. They're quite nice...just remember to order a lot!

My best source for daffs, especially ones that aren't common and especially for ones that are true to name (grin) has been my local society, the Washington Daffodil Society. Each May I eagerly await the listing...pour over it, making my selections.

The prices might surprise some, but you know how collecting can be...

I'm waiting on my spring order from WDS....probably will come later this month...yippee!

I'm a bit worried as last year I had Johnny Jump Ups everywhere....which, at first, I thought were pretty....until I discovered they will grow quite tall (who knew)...and were really crowding all my daffs...yikes. We shall see this year. I hope they managed okay.
