When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus syn. Narcissus 'Pheasant's Eye'

6 Jun 2019 • I planted some of these in a pot and some in the garden. This one is in a pot, it’s June and it’s in flower...

Good grief, that's amazing but well, just wow. Don't tell it it shouldn't be flowering now though 😍😍

Very Elaine. I’d assumed these just weren’t going to flower at all 🤷‍♀️ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Absolutely. They seem to bring freshness to the garden. Probably because I associate them with spring... @Keely

Thank you both! It’s a worthy addition Christine, I just wish I had more so I could cut them and bring the perfume into the house @lovestogarden @midnightgardener

Every time I look at this I think of Kate Winslet in The Titanic - and I haven’t even seen the film 🙄

@awomanonabike I love the curve on the petals. It's one of the best; if not the best, I've seen 😊😊

I think it might be going on mine too Jane 😉 I have lots of N. ‘Actaea’ which look very similar but don’t have the scent and are also much earlier. I’d love more of these @pelly

I know I've just posted a photo of this but there is a reason why its botanical name is narcissus poeticus var recurvus...

I had never really thought of narcissi being scented until I met this one - the scent is divine Vanessa @nessas

They are beautiful Glyn & Katy, and all the more so for coming out so late when most of the others have gone over @jones

Fab , must get these in the autumn Jacqueline 👍

I'd really recommend them but be careful you don't do as I did and confuse them with 'Actaea' - they are also scented but not as heavily, and come out when most of the others are out @juliesgarden
