Jim -

The other 'Matador' x N. jonquilla crosses that I know of are 'Sparkling Tarts', 'Hoopoe' and 'Motmot' by Grant Mitsch and 'Explosion' by Bill Pannill. Dave may know of others.

Other fragrant daffodils that I enjoy are:

Div. 2 'Fragrant Rose'
'Arctic Char'
Div. 4 'Independence Day'
Div. 7 'Sweetness'
'Fertile Crescent'
Div. 8 'Sir Winston Churchill' (heavenly citrus fragrance)
Div. 11 'Mondragon'

Dave Karnstedt wrote:" 'Falconet' is one of a series of Division 8 (Tazetta)
hybrids bred by the famous Oregon hybridizer, Grant Mitsch. They resulted
from a cross between 'Matador' x N. jonquilla. One of their features is
that they combine the wonderful fragrance of tazettas with that of jonquil."

Dave, fragrance is the main criterion which gets a plant into my garden. Can
you give the cultivar names for some others in this series notable for
scent?
