    Master gardener here--we have a flower to identify and can't find it. They say they're using it as a houseplant and tell us it has a lovely fragrance. It kind of looks like a narcissus to me, but not quite. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Allium neapolitanum? It has a bunch of common names including Daffodil Garlic.

    Thanks for your response. I looked at images of allium neapolitanum, and it doesn't look like those. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

    The onion has much smaller parts, and up-facing flowers with a differently structured "faces".
