With Narcissus tazetta and also the Amaryllis belladonna hybrids I notie
that the upper florets in the cluster (first to open) are capable of FAR more
seeds than the last to open. I have always assumed the later florets just
have fewer ovules to work with. However, I have also noticed though that
those last florets are virtually always the only ones receptive to
outcrossing to other species such as Brunsvigia josephinae or Crinum moorei
