'Sweetness'

Another daffodil opened Monday, 'Sweetness'. Hybridized in England before 1939, she is a member of the Jonquilla section and has typical jonquil characteristics. The foliage is taller than the flowering stems, the flowers are smaller and deep yellow, and fragrant. This one usually has one flower per stem.

For me, it has not been as vigorous as 'Trevithian', which blooms a few weeks later. The flowers are also smaller. Still, it has grown on me. It seems to be as perennial in the South as many of the old jonquils.
