[...] narcissus. The early daffodils are all gone, but the later ones are in their prime. Do you remember those new ones I told you about? Let’s start with them. Left to right, the most recently opened first: [...]

Hi, Esther–
The problem is not with daffodils in the ground, but when they’re in the vase. Cut daffodils are said to give off a substance that causes other kinds of cut flowers to wilt prematurely. But growing in your garden they do not have any harmful effects on other plants.

I have been told that daffodils will kill any other flowers planted nearby, yet have never read anything to that effect.
Have you ever encountered this?

Thank you

Daffodils are my wife’s favourite flower. I have been considering naturalizing our yard when we move next Spring so she will have them all around.

Kathy, I have never been able to discern a scent from the flowers. I have only had them for two years now, and had maybe 4-5 stalks of flowers last year. I had asked my grandmother to describe what they were supposed to smell like since I couldn’t smell anything on the cluster of flowers that I picked from them, but she says that she’d never noticed a scent from them at all, either.

Kim, can this be true: a lily-of-the-valley with no scent?

I forgot to answer your question. I just made a rather long post about the meaning that the spring woodland flowers “back home” have for me. I also have a small (right now) start of lily-of-the-valley that traces its roots back to my great-great-grandmother’s house. My grandfather dug up a start from there as they were cleaning out her house. It has no scent, unfortunately, but I love it just the same for the family connection.
