Positive	On Jan 31, 2014, coriaceous from ROSLINDALE, MA wrote: A reliable performer and a vigorous naturalizer, this is one of the few double-flowered narcissus I like. Unlike most, it doesn't need exceptional weather in order to open well. And only the cup is double, so the scape stands up well. Exceptionally late to bloom, this is a great season extender, into garden tour season. This is a soft lemon-yellow and harmonizes better with a wide range of tulip colors than the usual brassy gold. Winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

It's a delicate looking flower, though, and I think we will move n. 'tete a tete' and 'jetfire' away from 'y. cheerfulness' to show off it's soft and charming bloom more successfully.
Positive	On May 15, 2004, Toxicodendron from Piedmont, MO (Zone 6a) wrote: This is one of the later bloomers here in Missouri. It multiplies but needs divided to keep blooming well. The small flowers are a beautiful soft yellow and look like little roses.
