J is for Jaunty Jonquils (+ 5 more inset pictures!)
(5 more pictures above in notes! :D)
I used to think that a Jonquil was any kind of daffodil, but I found out that it's actually a specific type. In truth, "Jonquil" is an accepted term for "daffodil in some places, so I was very tempted to open my selection to every daffodil in my archives. But...no, I wanted to show a true jonquil. Narcissus jonquilla flowers are smaller in size and grow as clusters from one stem. They are also the most fragrant of all daffodils.
To my surprise, I have very few pictures of these fragrant beauties. Although we have some growing in our yard, I immediately remembered the grouping I photographed last Spring at my friend's home. The same friend who has the beautiful irises in fact! :) Weeks before, we visited to take pictures of her daffodils, and she'd picked a bunch of them for the house. I remember how wonderful these smelled!

The black background enhances the fantastic details of this beautiful flower.
One of the more old fashioned meanings for the word "jaunty" is stylish........which perfectly sums up this wonderful photo.
I did know they were different. My Godparents were Dutch... and we used to visit alot...so rather played in the bulb fields. Also before I left England.. I lived in Spalding.. the bulb capital of the east of the UK..
Beautiful photo Janet.
