NARCISSUS 'FALCONET' MULTI-HEADED & HIGHLY FRAGRANT

Another gloriously sunny day for Easter Saturday.  Here, in the UK, we usually expect it to rain on bank holidays!  Anyway, it is sunny with blue sky and temperatures in the 20s.  My garden, which is mostly a summer garden, looks lovely with all the daffodils put on a show.  I bought several varieties of bulbs last year which are now in bloom and, of course, there is the ever-reliable Tete a Tete among them.  Narcissus 'Falconet' is one of my new narcissus, or daffodils if you prefer to call them that.  They are really lovely and the fragrance is divine!

The label says that they enjoy sun or partial shade and like moist, humus-rich soil - I grow mine in Miracle-Gro All Purpose compost.  They achieve a height of 14", are highly-fragrant and, as you can see, are multi-headed: there are four flowers on the stem in the above image.
