One of our most favorite Heirloom Narcissus are the Obdam. They are also fully double and a dream in a vase...
Lovely cream with yellow and I love the greenish petals!
They really make a lovely vase and are so fragrant for enjoying indoors.
You clearly see the hint of green...
Let me show you these greenish petals more up close.
Such a beauty; don't you agree?
They should stay like that for weeks, why are flowers wilting so quickly?
The Obdam is really multi-colored!
Wish I could reproduce the fragrance for you...
Here is where they live, in our wood garden, across the center bridge.
This year they did yield twice a nice filled vase but some years, the buds just dry up and never open...
Do you have some fragrant double heirloom Narcissus like these Obdam?
Such pretty flowers. I also like your new blog header photo.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteThank you and Easter is a perfect time for daffodils and narcissus!
Hugs,
Mariette
Cara Mariette, anche nel mio giardino i narcisi sono fioriti, ma si tratta di quelli a fiore semplice, meno appariscenti dei tuoi ma altrettanto belli. Siccome sono tra i primi a colorare di giallo il prato accolgo sempre volentieri il loro benvenuto alla primavera.

Narcisi guardano così perfettamente insieme a Pasqua e li amo, soprattutto questi quelli sono profumati. Ti auguro una buona Pasqua con i tuoi cari.
DeleteBaci,
Mariette
spero che tu stia molto meglio, che sia guarita!!!!!! questi narcisi sono meravigliosi!!!!!! auguri di buona e santa Pasqua con la tua famiglia Lory
ReplyDeleteCara Lory,
DeleteGrazie Lory ed io posso vivere con il mio dito così che com'è ora. Voglio augurarti e i tuoi cari anche una molto buona Pasqua.
Baci,
Mariette
Deaest Mariette,
ReplyDeletethose Narcisses are wonderful! I am sure, the fragrance is lovely ....
I only have the very simple and plain yellow ones in our little garden, but I love this bright yellow, like sunshine :O)
Have lovely Easterdays, you both,
Love and hugs,
Claudia
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteIndeed, their fragrance is heavenly and especially in the evening it sends wafts of perfume through the home whenever you move. Whatever daffodils you have, they are such welcome flowers for spring; just enjoy!
Wishing you and yours also a lovely Easter!
Hugs,
Mariette

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletediese gefüllten Narzissen sind wirklich ein Traum.
Wunderschön. Du hast sie uns gut nahegebracht.
Einen besinnlichen Karfreitag wünscht Dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteJa danke, sie sind auch zum fotografieren ein wirklicher Traum!
Auch einen besinnlichen Karfreitag wünsche ich Dir mit alles Liebe,
Mariette
Deze zien er prachtig uit en zo mooi geschikt in de juiste vaas komen ze helemaal tot hun recht.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJa dank je en dat is nog een oud vaasje uit Nederland van Keraflor uit Reuver, Limburg die destijds door Steenbok werden verkocht in 3 maten. Steenbok handelt nog steeds in tegels en marmer. Heb in de jaren 80 veel van hun geïmporteerd, ze hadden hier in Atlanta een filiaal totdat de dollar koers wijzigde.
Liefs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThese narcissuses are great beauties, your garden must be very beautiful by now!
You took wonderful pictures, showing "your" spring!! :)
Enjoy the Easter weekend, hugs from France!
Dearest Noushka,
DeleteThank you and yes, we do enjoy this time of the year very much as in our garden each day you almost find new things blooming. Nothing does last for long though but we enjoy it!
Happy Easter weekend to you and yours as well.

ReplyDeleteYour Easter header is so cute!!!!! I wish you and Pieter a very happy Easter, my dear friend!!!!!
Many hugs and kisses!
Marie-Anne
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteThank you, we surely did enjoy these and ours did not make it to the Easter season either. Very tricky to manage that; depending on the weather.
We sure enjoy this time of the year, with a blue sky and sunshine it feels just great. Very festive time of the year. You will reach that next week in Greece.
Sending you hugs and blessings,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette； Beautiful yellow Narcisses♡♡♡ Happy for youthat you had a good year of this beauty, my friend♪ Oh, must have the wonderful scent!
ReplyDeleteSending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteThank you, and yes this year we got very lucky for having enough of these fragrant beauties.
Hugs and love from Georgia/USA across the ocean to my Japanese friend!
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,

Fregrant for enjoying indooora.
Your wood garden alsoss the center bridge some of buds a dry up and never open ...
I had nothing of any good one too much hot days of this years.

Hugs and Love from both of you!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteThank you for your visit and glad you came to enjoy these beauties.
Sometimes we don't get any of these Obdam narcissus to bloom either, just got lucky this year.
Wishing you a lovely Easter in Melbourne, Australia and happy family time.
Love, admiration and hugs from both of us.
Mariette
Wow, they are so pretty! I love the hint of green on yellow! It adds beauty on them :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I admire your vase, too. It looks like a whipped cream....such a sweet looking vase!
Happy Easter, Mariette. Have a wonderful weekend!
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteYes, this sure is a WOW variety of heirloom narcissus. Anything with such a hint of green looks lovely, like white roses that have a greenish tint. A very old vase from my previous imports from The Netherlands that I did in the 80s for my business. They came in a small; medium and large size.
Happy Easter weekend to you both!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,such beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures of the narcissuses in your garden!
Wishing to you and Pieter Happy Easter and a lovely weekend!Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteYes they truly are, amazing beauties IF they manage to bloom. Some years they don't even open up...
Thank you and you are now very close to your Holy Week and Easter in Greece.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hoi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteZo zo.., jij zit goed in de bloemen. Erg mooi hoor. En zo te zien staan er buiten nog meer. Prachtig!!
Grappige banner heb je ook bovenaan je blog.
Groetjes en hele fijne paasdagen,
Marco
Beste Marco,
DeleteJa, dit jaar was het een treffer met deze práchtige dubbele heirloom narcissen en ze geuren ook heerlijk. Maar ze hebben het niet tot Pasen gered, dat is al heel toevallig om ook dat te redden. Daar zijn foto's goed voor. Ja, die banner is inderdaad van een heel grappig duo. Mijn Vader vertelde vroeger altijd verhaaltjes over konijntjes die op brommertjes rond reden bij het land wat wij hadden. Wij genóten van die verhalen en járen later kom ik deze hier dus tegen. Mooie herinneringen!
Ook lieve groetjes en fijne Paasdagen nog.
Mariette
Such gourgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteDearest Marleen,
DeleteThank you and they sure are!
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedie Narzissen sind ein Frühlingstraum!
Dir und Pieter alles Liebe zu Ostern.
herzliche Grüße aus dem nicht mehr so stürmischen Ostfriesland von Traudi
Liebe Traudi,
DeleteOh, sie sind wirklich wie ein Traum da sie auch noch so herrlich duftend.
Auch euch beide alles Liebe zu Ostern. Gott sei Dank ist das Wetter bei euch etwas kalmiert...
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletees gibt so viele wundervolle Sorten Narzissen - was für ein herrlicher Strauß -
alles Liebe und ein paar wundervolle Tage -
Ruth
Liebe Ruth,
DeleteJa, besonders die ganz alte Heirloom Sorten mag ich so sehr auch wegen den Duft.
Ganz liebe Grüsse und ein schönes Osterwochenende.
Mariette
Oh so bloody pretty
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThat's a perfectly strong Aussie word for it!
Hugs,
Mariette
Een prachtige volle bloem Mariette. Mooi vaasje ook. Zo'n groot veld met narcissen is ook een prachtig gezicht. Ik had een aantal bakjes met witte narcissen binnen staan (weet de naam niet meer). Nu ze uitgebloeid zijn hebben we ze in de tuin (lees tuintje) geplant, dat doen we elk jaar, dan hebben we er volgend jaar weer plezier van. Fijne paasdagen, lieve groet
ReplyDeleteBeste Willy,
DeleteJa, hier op zo'n groot landgoed verdwijnt heel wat aan bollen en plantgoed maar in een klein tuintje is het zichtbaarder en narcissen vermeerderen zich ook. Zo halen we de mooie lente ook in huis met een geurende vaas van zulke ouderwetse variëteiten!
Ook een fijn Paasweekend en liefs,
Mariette
