Tony - N rupicola x asturiensis (it's a trumpet rather than a hoop petticoat).

Anne thank you it was a labeling mistake. Nice to see the other one.

Can someone ID this one for me please. It is growing in a neighbours garden and I would like to acquire some.
30-35cm tall with between three and six flowers on each stem. Sorry about the flower quality but it is has been in bloom for a number of weeks and is almost over.

Sorry can't help there Michael.

Some from this week. The week has been somewhat chaotic in the Nicholson household with little time to get out in the garden but a few pictures here gathered as time allowed.

Narcissus bulbocodium. I merged many of my pots of bulbocodium at re-potting time so these could be obesus, or, perhaps not :P
Narcissus moschatus. A minor triumph since it flowered last year and I usually loose them after one flowering.

David - the shortest plant looks like N. obesus to me - corona curving in at margin.
N. moschatus flowering a second time. Amazing!
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

One of the tazetta hybrids such as Grand Soleil d’Or, Castanets or Matador?

Michael, when the first flowers have the same coloured cups as the plant do have now, I don't think it's Castanets, here is a picture of it

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Beautiful 'W P Milner' David; a favourite of mine.
Unfortunately here it produces abundant leaves but only the odd flower (1 this year :'().
Is there a secret?

Keep-off narcissus fly from W.P. Millner!

It seems to me a cv. being very susceptible / attractive for the flys. I found many grubs in the bulbs.
I have no hope for mine to survive in longer term. :(
Best wishes
