Wonderful plants and pictures Gerd and Gail - here first of the autumn flowering daffodils is  Narcissus x perezlarae

Until seeing this thread, I was unaware of such things as tiny fall blooming Narcissus, they're charming.

Thank you alltogether for kind remarks!

Gail: There is not much scent today (only around 10 ° C) - I'm not able to smell anything besides powerful odours - unfortunatley most of the flowers not.
My wife did the test for me - she told that there was a slight scent from  Narcissus elegans and a stronger one from Narcissus cavanillesii (she said reminded her of vanilla).

Sorry this is not much help -
I'm sure they all are scented, perhaps someone with a better developed sensivity can help?

Gerd I think I am not of great help and doubt I have a better developed sensivity (I had ignored the wonderful scent of P.sickenbergeri for years until Oron mentioned it recently ::)), I did not note any scent in N. perezlarae and N. miniatus - but it was windy and to many nervous bees around to come very close to the flowers.

Thank you Hans - I recommend a ' sniff party ' during a calm sunny day  ;)
and a rerun at night - (because Narcissus viridiflorus is pollinated by moths!
