I couldn’t resist these scented narcissi at the wholesale market today.  The only tricky choice was which colours to go for – the cheeky, sunny yellows or elegant pale lemons and cream.  As my own yellow trumpeters are starting to emerge from buds in the garden, I decided (for once) to play the restrained card, and carried my pale and perfumed bundle away with delight.

Having put some into a mixed bouquet with hellebores and seasonal foliages, I decided to make some simple, single ingredient posies with them, and you know what, I think these are what shows off the delicate beauty of narcissi the best.  You really get the massed impact of both their form and fragrance when they get the chance to emerge from the chorus line and take centre stage.  Encore!
