Hi Jane, Vlad, and other Narcissus lovers,

Cheerfulness is in the Div. 4, Double Category. It is from 1923 according to the bulb catalog I’m looking at.

I always plant out the forced paperwhites since I live in cooler Zone 8 as they do well here. I just wait until the weather
moves into late winter or early spring.

I am one who really enjoys all kinds of Narcissus, especially since all are at least cold hardy in my climate. I don’t have to worry,
as I do with some of our other treasures, that they will get killed by a hard frost. It has been so much fun getting some of the more unusual ones
from this group.

I'm sure some of the commercial narcissus I grow are tazetta hybrids, but I don't keep the names on them, so I'm not sure. Is 'Cheerfulness' one? I haven't planted any paperwhites out in the garden after forcing them, so don't know how they would do. Right now a lot of small hybrids such as 'Sundial' are in flower, at the end of the narcissus season, but I don't know anything about their ancestry.

Jane, do you grow any tazetta hybrids? I wonder how they perform in
Portland.

Cheers,
Vlad
