Pat, the ismene should be in a 'daffodil' circle! It's called the Peruvian Daffodil, but belongs to Amaryllis family. The white one, another name Hymenocallis, I have had for a few years and it got so pot bound I separated them in autumn 04, should have waited until spring but they were bursting the large pot. Last year not many grew, I still have 5 small ones but had at least 20 of different sizes, they do multiply and so far get through in a cold greenhouse. It makes really long tropical looking foliage but does like to be in a hot geenhouse for flowering.

I love the shape of Constance Spry, it looks inviting to shove your head in it for a good whiff. Indian Summer sound similar to Just Joey, which has a powerful scent.

OK so we have too many 'best', Guinee is one I have been waiting for years for, the wind broke a new tall stem off years ago, now it has managed to make some decent flowers on the one stalk it did make after. I have been trying for ages to get the colour, I got as close as one can when it was very cloudy yesterday, the scent is sumptuous.
