'Fragrant Rose' is also one of my favorite daffodils, Dave, and I made a male visitor get down and sniff one this evening (blooming now only because I planted the bulbs in late January). I have stuck this daffodil in front of many noses at public displays and I have found that most males can detect the fragrance, but a number of females, maybe 30% or so, cannot. Our friend Linda Wallpe says that's because men won't admit they can't do something, while women tell the truth about such things! She thinks both genders have a similar percentage that cannot detect this fragrance, regardless of their self-reports. Bill Lee
