Narcissus 'Scarlet Gem' is a daffodil with numerous long lasting scented flowers per stem. When planted as dry bulbs in Fall it flowers in mid-season, but left in the ground in mild conditions it will produce leaves in Autumn and be one of the first daffodils to flower. About 14 inches high, it dates from the early 20th. century. Photos by David Pilling; the bulbs are shown on a 10 mm grid.
