    As I watched the 'valedictory address' of our (former) Queen Beatrix last Monday night, I cant help but notice the flower arrangement on her table. The flowers look a bit like orchids... Anybody knows what they are?

    Thanks.

    They look like they could be daffodils but I think we need a larger picture.

    The flowers yes, but the leaves definitely not.

    Yes, but it's a flower arrangement. The leaves don't have to go with the flowers.

    Oh yes! Narcissus. :) I really didnt recognize them. I wasn't used to seeing narcis being used in flower arrangements. Moreso, haven't seen them white with pinkish/peachy combination.

    Thanks for the help.

    There are many cultivars with that coloring.
