World domination indeed Pat! I'd agree though - there could be worse things bidding for world domination. There's two I can think of right now - of the human sort....
I love the little jonquils and daffs too. Always bring a smile, even on a dreary day. Narcissus, in general, is one of my favourite groups of plants. Along with the native primulas, they're hard to beat
Always enjoy looking at this thread. Glorious pix.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The perfume is a bit overwhelming. My father told me that his mother always said it was bad luck to have jonquils in the house - I suspect she found the perfume as uleasant as I do.
I love dianthus/carnation scent too. I only grow dianthus and they're a bit short for cutting, but I often put some in one of the little bottles I have, or in a bud vase.

Yes Fairy, the carnations only have a weak perfume but the little white violets have a surprisingly strong perfume. They always surprise me. I forget they're around and suddenly i see some little white heads poking up through a shrub.

Lots of colour today. I absolutely love Calendula Indian Prince and cosmos purity. That beauty from a little seeds
And happy bees, too, Jaffacakes!
....and lots of happy bees and hoverflies too jaffacakes.
autumnal colour on my oak leaf hydrangea
but the Black Knight sweet peas are still flowering beautifully. These are behind Phormium 'Cream Delight'
I have a pot of them beside these Lord Bute pelargoniums too. They're almost identical in colouring

I have some cosmos and a bee.
They like the fucshias and one on a leaf.
Yes all the bees are very happy buzzing around. Very hard to get photos of them as they hop between flowers

I prefer these perfumes
Gorgeous though Pat
