Nice healthy looking bulbs, Anthony.
I may get flowers this season? Just been repotting Narcissus cantabricus sown July 2011. Fifteen bulbs in one pot, three in another and one in my petuniodes pot. The first two pots each had a couple of flowers last year.

They are still quite small. Will have to see if the largest flower this year.

A couple more from me:-

Narcissus eugeniae

Narcissus jonquilla var. henriquesii (is that still it's name?). I struggle a bit with the Jonquills bulbs seem to be healthy and produce leaves but flowers are a completely different matter. 12 bulbs in this pot and only one flower.

Still winter on the calendar and outside.

Narcissus dubius. Noticed the green highlight when the petals where back lit.

Still plenty snow in the mountains here and I believe that HUGE areas of the USA and Canada are under feet of snow still - takes more than a date to make a season change, I reckon!
