I would like to know the name of this Cyprus spring flower. I saw it in Simou and the smell is just so beautiful. Who knows the name?

Looks like some variety of daffodil. Nice though.

I think you are right Geoff, it surely looks like the double daffodil variety.

Yes, I've looked at many pictures of those and indeed that's the one. The lady in Simou told me they grow there every year, so must have been a 'wild' variety. Thanks!

It also looks like a double Jonquil, so thanks too.

I'll simply will call it a wonderful smelling wild double daffodil. ;)

Thanks Houdinibun. I must say they really look like all the ones mentioned here, so I stick to the wonderful smelling wild double daffodil. A Cheerful, Jonquil, Churchill daffodil.

And try saying that when you've had a glass or three of vino collapso! :lol: :lol:

Lovely photo, Louise. Mine (at our holiday cottage in Agios Dimitrianos) were flowering before Christmas.
