Aaah!
I went up to our village shop today, which also rents out DVDs. When my husband came home, I said "Quantum of Solace is out" (a new movie), to which he replied "Is that a daffodil?".

He knows you well of course Anne ;D

Mark, WP Milner and Queen of Spain both have flanged trumpets, while Kenellis does not. It is quite distinct. I wonder if it was named after someone called Ken Ellis? The registration entry doesn't say.

 I have a vague notion ( yes ,yes, I know most of my notions are pretty vague these days  :-X) that I Read somewhere that Kenellis was a place, that is to say a house..... ???

wind damage  :'( Not many flowers left now. Many are flat to the ground caused by the wind dehydrating the leaves faster than they can take up water

All beautiful and subtly different.  A bit like those white flowered things with the green markings - subtly different :)
