Since december 1st, open the flowers of Narcissus tazetta "Avalanche", finely perfumed. I will put on it a plastic bell if the weather turn too cold, but now temperature is 8°C and it freeze rarely in this month, but winter comes quickly perhaps !

scent - you either like it or hate it! I dont like scent of these multiheaded Narcissus
Here are some comparison shots of Narcissus 'Cedric Morris' taken using my 'old' Nikon Cool Pix and my new Canon Ixus
-
and N. rom. 'Craigton Clumper' with both cameras. Canon and then Nikon

Mark,
So waht colour is that last one then? White or creamy yellow? As I tend to like detail, I personally prefer most of the shots from your Nikon to the ones from your Canon. At least with the flower portraits. "Cedric Morris' is delightful...... I cried when mine didn't make it back after flowering the first year.

The second shot of N.'Craigton Clumper' is closer to the actual colour of the plant.
Mark, the first picture shows no shadows and I would suspect that it was taken under cloud cover or in shade where as the second one has a strong shadow on the corona and stamens indicating it was taken in sunshine hence the warmer yellow colour.
I think this colour difference is mostly down to the available light more than the camera settings however.
-
I never really thought about it. I'll look and see if I have a full sun photo with the Canon or I can retake one when the sun shines

Two daffodils, both from Morocco, are flowering at present
1. N. romieuxii
2. N. cantabricus

That is a specially nice cantabricus.

I was thinking the same thing myself. What a delight to have such beauty to help us through the winter.
Little daffs rule, okay!
