Default pinkster lily

I keep it in a pot, because slugs and snails eat it up outdoors. Hence
it was very easy to capture it from beneath. It has the first flower
within years.

Very pretty, it's always nice when something finally flowers.

A pheasant-eye daffodil. Slugs and snails won't normally touch them,
but the first tender shoots of anything new are always a target. If you
have other narcissus you could try planting these among them, or else
grow them on until you have enough bulbs for a fair-sized patch.

Enjoy the scent!

My slugs do (did)! I have other daffodils, but I try to keep those
separated each kind in its own spot. This is a single bulb I rescued
some years ago from being eaten. It didn't show any intention to flower
since then. I'm hoping the bulb will propagate now. I shall plant the
offsets outside, but always keeping a few of them in a pot as a secure
backup.
I indeed do enjoy the scent, especially with regard to the next buds
that will open these days, which are those of 3 Voodoo-Lilies.
