< Tazzetta Narcissus
Tazetta Narcissi are relatives of daffodils,
with many small flowerheads per stem and wonderful scents.
Tazetta means "little cup" in Italian, referring
to the shape of the flower.
Varieties of Tazetta Narcissi include yellow
"Soleil d'Or" and pure white "Ziva"; the
variety shown here is the double flowered "Cheerfulness".
All have strong sweet scents and also make ideal indoor plants
as potted bulbs.

Eucharis >
For something most alluring, track down
the gorgeous pure white Eucharis flower. This tropical beauty
needs only a few
stems to make an impression. Its faint
scent adds to the charm.
At first glance it looks like a white
daffodil, but a second look reveals a delicate apple green
centre. Each stem bears at least two flowerheads and often
up to eight.
