'Orange Comet'

I am a sucker for the Cyclamineus daffodils. With their oversized cups, reflexed tepals, and nodding flowers, they just get me. If you want to die of cuteness overload, do a Google image search for the species itself, Narcissus cyclamineus. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck with the Cyclamineus daffodils past the first year. I think they like cooler, moister climates than mine. They don't thrive on the intense summer bakings like the Jonquilla daffodils do. In any case, I've only tried them a couple of times before, and never in pots. This year I've tried 'Orange Comet', a hybrid from Brent & Becky's bulbs. I loved taking pictures of this one.
